"The technologies are out there to do this, but we need to convince the public this is real and not just a science project."

I smell a lab rat.

we need to convince the public this is real and not just a science project

We'll have to convince the public that the "Bugs" won't get out and devour our forests and houses. Some countries would rather starve than use mutant grain; this is the attitude that must be overcome.
