Arun's Ravings: Plant have rights too and so do trees!?

"Right now, property rights of a corporation are superior to health and welfare rights, quality-of-life rights. No community has the ability to stop any destruction of the environment ... What we're advocating is a wholesale paradigm change: that Nature is not just property. I am saying natural communities have an inherent right to exist and flourish,"

A new concept that has entered my mind ever since I started an online course with the World Intellectual Property Rights Org (WIPO) the concept is called “Plant Rights” ^© Arun K. Shanker २००६

Do plants have rights? We are talking about plant var। protection rights and about animal rights। As human beings who exploit the natural wealth for our own benefit we have realized that the animals have rights and we have the moral and ethical responsibility to uphold their rights, but what about plants? Are we protecting the rights of the plants?

One of the important rights of an organism is to have freedom to express its genes. In what direction are we going as plant scientists to uphold this freedom of plants?
What is the benefit sharing agreement we have to accept morally with the plants which gives us innumerable genes that can be used for human and animal welfare. This is all the more important since we assume (or are we really ignorant?) that plant can't think
The truth is that plants have a much more complicated mechanism (biochemcial and molecular at the nano scale , ecological at the macro scale) to protect themselves
Please understand that this concept is not a radical view which says "do not eat vegetables" but it is a moral and ethical view which says that share the benefit and protect the fundamental freedom of plants to express their genes।


Plants constitute over 90% of the world's present and past biomass. Simply in terms of their bulk, whatever we learn about plants has the potential to tip the balance in any debate concerning the frequency of occurrence of a biological phenomenon.Nowhere else in biology than in plants do we find such convincing evidence that physical laws and processes link form and function and thus have confined the scope of organic expression within the boundaries that have never been breached.
