Man Takes Up Internal Farming 136
RockDoctor writes "'A Massachusetts man who was rushed to hospital with a collapsed lung came home with an unusual diagnosis: a pea plant was growing in his lung.' Just that summary should tell you enough to work out most of the rest of the details, but it does raise a number of questions unaddressed by the article: How did the pea roots deal with the patient's immune system? What would have happened if the situation had continued un-treated? I bet the guy has a career awaiting him in PR for a pea-growing company."

Well it works like this. First if uses its existing nutrients to grow high enough to reach sunlight. Then it starts photosynthesis. If they'd left it in him, he'd have ended up like this [incgamers.com]

I was thinking that Monsanto was going to sue him for using their patented lung-resistant pea seeds.

Turns out it's a GMO round-up ready pea mutant. Monsanto is suing him for using their genetic material without paying for it.
