GMO is the total takeover and control of what we eat. GMO seeds cannot be reused forcing repurchase year after year. In case of nuclear war or total destruction there would be no organic seeds to plant.
Cancer rates are exploding all over the world. What might be causing this? How about they look into GMO foods.
I am a full time. capitalist but have a hard time letting a few businesses taking control of my food supply.
I too think that when man tinkers with nature nothing good will become of it and when a few businesses control the food, they control the world.

No seeds can be re-used. What you are talking about is the reservation of a portion of the seed crop to use for the next year. Not a bad idea for the farmer, but not so good for the people who developed the insect resistant, mold resistant, drought resistant varieties etc. Naturally they are looking for more than a one time sale. How can you blame them? This kind of research is not done on the cheap. Now, any farmer who wants to forgo the advantages to be gained from other men's labor can use his own heirloom seeds. No problem there, but Monsanto and others are not charities, and to expect them to behave as charities is unrealistic to say the least.

Source? I didn't think so.

Why not? Because there is no worldwide explosion of cancer. What there is a worldwide explosion of longevity. This increase in longevity is exposing the fact that cancer will eventually get every one of us if we don't die from something else first - as has been the case of most of mankind's existence on Earth.
