Thanks for your inquiry. Several different experts have posted responses to very similar questions on GMO Answers:

• Regarding farmer suicides: The UK’s Daily Mail reports that an estimated 125,000 farmers have committed suicide because of crop failure and massive debt since planting GM seeds. I have watched a tv show on this and was wondering how Monsanto feels about this. Its supposed to help farmers but it seems to be wiping out the little guy. Is this seem right?
• Regarding Séralini's study on lab rats: Have you reviewed the study showing that GMOs caused cancer in lab rats?
  
• Regarding the Farmer Assurance Provision: What is the “Monsanto Protection Act”?

Please take a look at these responses and let us know if you have any additional questions.
