A genetic malfunction?

It's not like there's no such thing as genetics gone wrong.

Or genetic experimentation. I fear society would take every opportunity to say "Fuck off and die, God!" the moment humankind gets the opportunity to alter itself at its very core. Ostensibly done in the name of "improving the species", it eliminates what makes a human HUMAN in the process: Tolerance and acceptance of the world as being God's creation, not out playtoy to fucking tinker with. And we're very near that point. So if Dumbass* is against genetic engineering for moral concerns, well hell - so am I. Call it significant the day I agree with him* on anything, but for genetic engineering to alter or reinvent the species to somebody else's (such as corporate america's) liking, I'm damn well against it. How can I make my unbridled anger any more obvious?

On edit: I apologize to practitioners of organized religion. I believe in God, but I would not call myself a Christian. And my controversial line is what the scientists are saying every time they come up with something as significant.

Remember, God comes back to haunt us by giving us Mad Cow Disease, the "Pig AIDS", even human AIDS, and so on. And, yes, there are scientific explanations there too. But the most obvious and duh-inducing one is "Why the hell do we continue when all we do in return is cause newer, deadlier things to appear which do far more damage to the whole planet, the one we can't escape from?" Humanity has got to stop itself before it's too late!
