Nature has a certain balance to it that we have yet to fully understand. Who knows what kind of side effects this might have, accidentally creating new deadlier diseases or mental issues, turning an entire generation sterile, throwing off the balance of life's on earth (as if we haven't done enough damage through factory farming (check what they do with all that poop). This technology has the potential to solve all kinds of problems or create bigger ones that we can hardly imagine right now. Between AI and genetic manipulation, humanity seems to be in over its head. Our "right brains" have made some incredible advancements but our "left brains" have yet to catch up. Once we figure out how to really achieve freedom and peace and understanding, then let's put our focus back onto technology. That's my vote anyone. Though it seems those who fear death and are addicted to progress will charge on ahead regardless of what I say.

This is not coming from a place of fear, I would just rather not see any more suffering that comes from this anxious desire we have as a species to exercise completely control our environment. I know we can come at this from a more balanced perspective if we develop our humanity rather than trying to augment it.
