Scientists Create GM Corn Which Prevents Human Conception 10/29/2010 0 Comment(s) Robin McKie Science Editor The Observer - London September 9, 2001
Scientists have created the ultimate GM crop: contraceptive corn. Waiving fields of maize may one day save the world from overpopulation.
The pregnancy prevention plants are the handiwork of the San Diego biotechnology company Epicyte, where researchers have discovered a rare class of human antibodies that attack sperm.
By isolating the genes that regulate the manufacture of these antibodies, and by putting them in corn plants, the company has created tiny horticultural factories that make contraceptives.
"We have a hothouse filled with corn plants that make anti-sperm antibodies," said Epicyte president Mitch Hein.
"We have also created corn plants that make antibodies against the herpes virus, so we should be able to make a plant-based jelly that not only prevents pregnancy but also blocks the spread of sexual disease." |

Think of the ramifications. For the Illuminati to reduce population they won't have to try to convince anyone to get "flu shots" as corn, corn products and high fructose corn syrup is in virtually everything edible bought in a supermarket. Is this not of concern to the majority of us? |
