These kinds of articles make me think that I chose the wrong career. Sure, I got to do medical research and help to create the basis of future medicine. But, how cool is it to use those same molecular tools to find out about our past?

Messing with DNA is going where we have neither the wisdom nor morality to responsibly handle it.
