... mans knowledge of said genes and how the dna strand fully functions is very new/young and incredibly incomplete in my humble opinion.

I don't have a problem with the scientists performing their experiments in laboratory conditions.

My primary problem is that we as a species is involved in the experimentation. As a result, we should quite clearly understand and have the choice of whether or not to participate.

When it comes to replacing a gene in a particular dna strand with another gene - I'd really rather not be part of that experiment. When the tech/knowledge is a few hundred years old so we can understand the full impact - such as what the changes might do to the human genome itself over a couple generations of regular/constant use - then it'll no longer be an experimentation.

Do I even have that choice if Monsanto's seeds have taken over 90+% of their respective markets?
