Yes. Today's Bananas are susceptible to disease and unable to
reproduce without human participation in the process. Lack of genetic
diversity has driven the common Banana to the brink of extinction.
Banana-killing pathogens have gone global, and experts agree it is
very unlikely that bananas will be on supermarket shelves a decade
from now. I fully expect that the same could happen to many breeds of
dogs.

Now that is a nice urban myth, with a grain of truth in it, that's true.
There is some disease that might spread and kill the entire population of
the most common and popular banana, but there are dozens of other bananas
that taste almost the same that are immune to this "plague".
I myself usually try to buy one of those kinds of bananas, so for me it
doesn't make a big difference if the "standard" banana dies or isn't worth
growing anymore.
