So if somebody commits copyright infringement they deserve a completely arbitrary "sentence" in the form of the possible destruction or copying of the possibly valuable and/or private information on their computers? And the completely innocent people who are actually affected by the trojan's payload in the form of DDOS attacks and the like, do they also "deserve it"? A lax "cosmic justice" attitude like this as regards malware is very dangerous.

The problems many people, me included, have with modified vegetables is that their genes have been altered which could entail them being harmful to either the digestor, the environment, or both. Add to this that Monsanto seem to be about the same as Hitler on the niceness scale (hi Godwin!) and these crops are not that attractive unless we see some tangible benefits. In the case of meat, the challenge is quite different. We do not want it to behave different, we want it to be just the same as if we ripped it fresh from the bovine. If this can be done without genetical modification (which I do doubt, though), then the above concerns regarding vegetables do not apply, at least not for me.
