No progress is good progress, that about it? Were you peeing your pants when the first astronauts came back from the moon? Could have contaminated the planet with moon germs. Seriously.

Okay, I seriously think you are reading a whole lot into a very little, maybe with a little projection thrown in for good measure. Seriously, its not like I said we should all go live with the Amish. My comment was merely meant to seriously suggest that a little care be taken before we go around creating entirely new species of animal.

I am actually quite seriously in favor of scientific advancement. I seriously support exploration in a physical sense such as outer space exploration -- in fact, I wish Bush's Mars initiative was a lot more ambitious and seriously well-funded.

I also seriously support scientific exploration in terms of experimentation, research and discovery. The benefits that have come from pushing the boundaries of the scientific world are innumerable. Seriously.

I am just suggesting that perhaps we should seriously think about what unintended consequences might arise from this particular avenue of experimentation.

I think, as the comments of a lot of others here show, that that concern is perfectly rational. Seriously.
