Wil's Rant

Annan has come out with another warning for the people of our planet and more relevantly, for our leaders. This time it has to do with the new science of bioengineering and the possible misuses of same. The man makes a great deal of sense on the subject and his warning should be listened to, not to say that it will. There are already many examples of poorly thought out experiments with gene splicing. The human cow gene splice is but one example, genetically modified foods are another. There is much good that can come from this science, but only if we approach it with responsibility, caution, and wisdom. Our race has demonstrated way to little of all of the above in the past. That must change if we are to survive what lies ahead.
