Terminator 2 Years Later:
Suicide Seeds on the Fast Track

"We've continued right on with work on the Technology Protection System
(Terminator). We never really slowed down. We're on target, moving ahead to
commercialize it. We never really backed off."  - Harry Collins, Delta &
Pine Land Seed Co., January, 2000

ISSUE:  Despite mounting opposition from national governments and United
Nations' agencies, work on Terminator and Traitor (genetic trait control)
moves full speed ahead.

IMPACT: Without government action to firmly reject Terminator and Traitor,
these technologies will soon be available commercially, with potentially
disastrous consequences for farmers, food security and biodiversity.
