Genetically modified seeds are engineered, in a laboratory. Using bacteria, they insert genes from a COMPLETELY different species into the seeds. For example, a genetically engineered tomato might have genes from a snail or jellyfish in them.

A hybrid seed is produced out in a farm field, by crosspollinating plants from the SAME species. For example, a hybrid rose might be created by cross pollinating pink roses with red roses.

It's a fairly significant difference.

Nature will take care of any over-population, in the mid 1300's the Black Plague reduced the human population by about 40%, in some areas 60% or more.

Imagine if a disease like Ebola or HIV become air-borne instead of fluid based viruses ....

With Ebola by the time you know you have it you are already seriously ill.
With HIV you can have it for ten years or more before you show any symptoms ....

Most of the people I know that have more than two children and not "welfare degenerates" but those that still get loads of "assistance" due to their family size they are "poor". I think the count should stop at two children, you want to have twelve ?? YOU pay for them.
