Genetics

Genetic engineering crosses a fundamental threshold in the human manipulation of the planet, changing the nature of life itself.

Jerome: For the genetically superior, success is easier to attain but is by no means guaranteed.

I stand by my assertions that although you can know what happens to any individual species that you modify, you cannot be certain what will happen to the ecosystem. Also, we have a strange situation where we have malnourished fat people. It’s not that we need more food. It’s that we need to manage our food system better. So when corporations seek government funding for genetic modification of food sources, I stroke my chin.
