Um, and what do the people who advocate when for GMO do when it fails to do the job?

Much as I admire Professor Tyson, on this I believe he is wrong. Anyone who studies breeding knows what fuckups can occur, like dog breeds that look wonderful but can be quite vicious? Who knows what we’ll end up doing tinkering at the genetic level?

We’re humans, not gods. We’d be wise to realize we’re not.

Ah, who am I kidding? We’ll keep fucking around with nature until that last, fatal fuckup.
