What's the problem? (Score 1)

I seem to be hearing a lot of people talk about modern genetics and biotech and usually they use some Frankenstein metaphor and end the article with some obtuse reference to how this is a big moral debate and how we much be careful. But, I have yet to see anyone bring up any specific problems other them, "people might do bad with this knowledge." I'm not sure there has been a single fact in human history that people haven't done bad with. This is powerful stuff, biotech. You could use it to completely revolutionize the world in a billion and two ways and you could also use it to make weapons and terrible social conditions. The real question isn't about God, or people playing God or God play people. The real question is should we do this or not. Does the possible good out weight the possible harm? And truth be told we don't have a choice. Because its going to happen no matter what you and I say. If it can be done some one will try it. But these statements apply to all new technologies. My point is unless you have a specific problem with some new piece of biotech information don't end you articles with ambiguous negative statements.
