We hardly know anything about genes and now we want to toy with them?
Do human minds really have more foresight than a billion years of evolution and survival of the fittest? I think that this is a fallacy and a conceit.
The thing about genetic engineering is that there are absolutely no standards or oversights to oversee the safety and long term consequences of gene engineering.
All advances in this field are made with the SOLE objective of making large amounts of money, by corporations and their conglomerates.
Very true, even were it to be called a breakthrough in the field of genetics with all the benefits and none the cons, in the end it all boils down to money. Then what? Aside from all the unforseeable consequences that MIGHT arise from toying with things outside of our knowledge, this will certainly and absolutely turn itself into a money game. Its how the world runs.Do human minds really have more foresight than a billion years of evolution and survival of the fittest? I think that this is a fallacy and a conceit.

But then again, if scientists didn't tinker around, we wouldn't be where we are now. So how to judge?
