Yeah I totally agree, selective breeding is OK but genetic manipulation is not, simply because we don’t know enough about the impacts of these manipulations. If we fully understood DNA and its intricacies, and if there was some kind of global consortium in charge of approving specific changes to organisms, then *maybe* it would be OK. But this kind of rampant, haphazard genetic manipulation of genes is very bad. It’s like changing someone’s software without knowing what the full impacts of those changes are, and selling it on the market as if it was the original software.
