People mate with people who don't tell them about STDs all the time. Perhaps not to bring a child into the world, though. I don't know.

But I was told farmers were effectively being fined by Monsanto when monsanto proved their crops had their genes. In fact I'm certain I read that. I will find the articles if you disbelieve.

Well it depends on why and how the genes are there. As far as accidental contamination Monsanto has never sued for that Here is a Huffpo article of note is the quote "Monsanto's binding representations remove any risk of suit against the appellants as users or sellers of trace amounts". Because Monsanto said it wouldn't, it now can't.

As for intentionally breeding the gene they do sue and win. For Past cases find the actual farmer , for example Percy Schmeiser, and then check Monsanto's list of actual court trials they have their expliantion of the case plus, and this is important, links to the actual case documents from government websites. All the cases that went to trial boil down to someone intentionally trying to breed the patented gene, like > 80% of plants had it, that cannot happen by accident.

Percy Schmeiser intentinally sprayed his crops with roundup, something that will kill all but the ones with the patented gene, then replanted those patented plants. He was intentionally trying to replant the roundup ready plants. His fields where over 90% that cannot happen without intervention, the RoundUp plants have no survival advantage unless you spray the field with roundup; no farmer without RoundUp ready plants would ever spray their field with roundup because it would kill their plants.

The story Percy Schmeiser tells is a lie, no one else believes him. The judges that sided with him in is case still thought he was lying, they just didn't think the patent was valid.
