I agree with you. It is kind of scary. A lot of what is happening with plants today is very scary. I hope it always remains a bit too costly for the majority of consumers, so it won't take over entirely.
And I should have added that to the first post I made. I don't really think cloning like this is a great idea in large scale, though cloning is the main way many plants are produced, as cuttings. All those garden plants, in large part, are cuttings or divisions of larger plants. Faster, cheaper, consistent product. Seed grown is slower, but there are still many plants grown from seed. Only they treat the seed with chemicals and genetically engineer it so it can't survive without the pest/herbicides and fertilizers that go with the genetic mods. Soy, wheat, corn, the list grows yearly.
Look at what's happening to bananas, and other monocultured crops. Bananas may soon become a fruit no one can afford, because all of them are the same species, and are being wiped out by diseases.
Very scary indeed.
