And the student has to pay the school for the credit.

Would we be able to produce enough food without GMO technology? Doesn’t the higher yield from GMO help make agriculture have a smaller footprint, not only literally in size of the fields (you live on an island), but also less water and resources to create food?

I can’t imagine the legal and government regulations that you would have to navigate to set this up. How difficult was it?

Are you afraid of retaliation? I wouldn’t be posting so freely if I had broken laws in my country. I can’t imagine how much worse getting caught in Iran would be.

I’m not an expert, but I looked into this recently. During the 2009 recession, the suicide rate only rose 6.5%. The unemployment rate is much higher now, but a lot of people know that this is temporary. We know that this will pass, but our current situation has a lot more factors that lead to suicide including the social isolation and most importantly the huge increase in the availability of guns. I know of a lot of people that have watched way too many zombie and virus apocalypse movies and went out and bought guns. Having a gun greatly increases your chance of being successful at suicide.
