so their altered crop can never be destroyed and will always repopulate the planet? simple as that. same reason you create it a herman, for more seeds, for more population.
at one point in time the guys at monsanto were trying to create terminator seeds with the govt, which would make seeds fertile! so the farmers would need to repurchase seeds everytime they wanted to plant something, and they would HAVE to buy from them (since monsanto basically owns the crop industry. they have a patent on soy bean, and i always wondereing why soy bean was such a low quality form of protein with tons of bad microbes in it. then i found out monsanto has a patent to alter it until 2014!) soy probably never was so shitty until they started fucking with it.
since monsanto was getting so much flak as a terrible, horrible life destorying crop company, guess what the leaders there did? they took over and now currently run our fda and part of our supreme court -_-
i dont believe in conspiracies, and i dont care about them. humans only have so much power.
i have no proof that humans invented it, so for your sake, ill say WE DIDNT. the creator made it that way, for whatever reason, even though when he started us off he made the perfect ratio of male to female which in turn products the perfect exponential of males and females.

[edit] Terminator seeds
Main article:
Genetic use restriction technology
Genetic use restriction technology, colloquially known as "terminator technology", produces plants that have sterile seeds. If put into use, it would prevent the spread of those seeds into the wild. It also would prevent farmers from planting seeds they harvest, requiring them to repurchase seed for every planting, although they also need to do this for
hybrid seeds, because second-generation seeds are inferior, and in cases of patented transgenic seeds, where patent-holders like Monsanto enter into contracts with farmers who agree not to plant harvested seeds as a condition of purchase.
Terminator technology has been developed by governmental labs, university researchers, and companies, sometimes in collaboration and sometimes independently.[SUP]

[96][/SUP] The technology has never been known to have been used commercially.[SUP]
[97][/SUP][SUP]
[98][/SUP] Rumors that Monsanto and other companies intended to introduce terminator technology have caused protests, for example in India.[SUP]

In 1999, Monsanto pledged not to commercialize terminator technology, and has kept that pledge on its website to the present day.[SUP]

[101][/SUP] The Delta and Pine Land Company intended to commercialize the technology,[SUP]

"Many of Monsanto's agricultural seed products are genetically modified for resistance to herbicides, such as
glyphosate, which Monsanto sells under the brand, "Roundup" - Monsanto calls these seeds "Roundup Ready". Monsanto's introduction of this system (planting glyphosate-resistant seed and then applying glyphosate once plants emerged) provided farmers with an opportunity to dramatically increase the yield from a given plot of land, since this allowed them to plant rows closer together.[SUP]
[59][/SUP] Without it, farmers had to plant rows far enough apart to control post-emergent weeds with mechanical tillage.[SUP]
[59][/SUP] Farmers have widely adopted the technology - for example over 90% of maize (
Mon 832),
soybean (MON-Ø4Ø32-6), cotton,
sugar beet, and
canola planted in the United States are glyphosate-resistant, as described in the
GM crops article. Monsanto has also developed a Roundup Ready
wheat (MON 71800)."
modified to be resistant to pesticides. great..
