I have to say, I'm against it. Not because I have a problem with it, but because our technology and knowledge isn't great enough in several subjects to do it right and do it safely, yet. I mean, we're already getting cancer from food hormones and shit like that. They have no choice because of the demand for food, and I don't eat organic because it's been proven not to be any healthier except for certain things involving hormones, and it's way too expensive, BUT, it's just further proof that, as usual, people are jumping the gun when it comes to making this shit.
To compare with another example, starting in the '60s, the US Government dropped nuclear explosives, including one Hydrogen bomb, on ships anchored in the Bikini Atoll. The first bombing, they had sailors walking all over the ships trying to rinse off the fallout with contaminated seawater. Thousands of people involved with the project ended up with ridiculous amounts of bizarre and deadly cancers, and for over a decade, the government actually tried to say that none of it ever happened. They did the same kinds of things in Nevada, with whole infantry units in trenches as little as one mile outside the blast radius of the bombs, actually testing the effects nukes had on the troops in the vicinity, and many of them also got cancer. This was an extremely dangerous technology, and they still played fast and loose with it.
Well, genetic engineering is the same way. It has unknown to infinite potential to cause serious uncontrollable consequences. We've only barely scratched the surface of this stuff. We only decoded the human genome recently, and we still don't have any clue what almost all of the genes in our body select for, yet we're already trying to use random genes we've found in certain organisms to augment others, without fully understanding the chemistry behind these interacting genes. To put it simply, we have no clue what we're going to get when we try to do this. In a couple of decades, when we DO understand more about genetics, and can ensure that we're not creating a toxic animal, or some other completely unexpected possibility, then I'm all for genetic engineering in this way if it'll help feed people. But we're simply too stupid to do it safely, and too careless and proud to admit it currently.
Now. Sorry for the spiel. XDDD But I'm extremely interested in the science, I just hate people who do stupid shit like mess with something without understanding it with the intention of making something, as opposed to research and experimentation goals.
