And given our extremely limited understanding of genetics and the primitive tools that we have to work with, I think this a completely rational fear. <br /><br />I am sure the researchers have very good intentions but the road to a certain hot place is paved with those. Until science gives us the tools to have confidence in doing this sort of genetic engineering, I think it would be wiser to rely on more time tested techniques.M.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12033918835169823548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892134081049774386.post-47147007223246311502010-07-01T12:20:02.916-04:002010-07-01T12:20:02.916-04:00I hope blissfully ignorant fools as yourselves wil...I hope blissfully ignorant fools as yourselves will also run for the hills next time you get sick, rather than run to the doctor.
