Monsanto and Indian farmer suicides:

Doubts surround link between Bt cotton failure and farmer suicide

http://www.nature.com/nbt/journal/v27/n1/full/nbt0109-9.html

Cormac Sheridan

Abstract

Results from a new investigation into the tragic phenomenon of Indian farmers' suicides and the alleged link with genetically modified (GM) cotton have been published. The International Food Policy Research Institute's (IFPRI) analysis released in October provides the most robust evidence yet that suicide among farmers in India has several causes, but Bt cotton is not a major factor.
