I'm ambivalent about this. For one, like I've mentioned before¹, I'd like to have humanity in one piece, for as long as possible, and the genome meddling cuts dangerously close in this regard. For another, this is progress and although I don't take pleasure admitting it, setting limits to R&D effort in this direction comes plain and simple out of fear and nothing else. I don't like thinking of myself to be some kind of zealot fighting for religious dogmas. Humanity may not be "ready" only in our perception.
