(25,406 posts)And I know it's not popular for me to say it, but I've read all the "sky is falling" websites (like the one you directed me to), and I still haven't become convinced to be a Luddite when it comes to genetic manipulation. Yes, I can clearly see where there is potential for abuse, but growing enough food for a world that's developing from an agricultural society (where large families are traditionally needed) to a manufacturing/service society where children are an expensive liability is the way to making the planet sustainable with resorting to frequent war.
You have every right to maintain your belief system about something that fundies call "playing God", I just don't share it. I also think that there are enough instances of heavy-handedness on the part of Monsanto that are a much better target to go after than the science they used to develop their products. It's very possible that a majority of the Court will feel the same way.
