“They are mad scientists playing with toys they don’t understand.”
A luddite, it see. Someone afraid of technology they personally do not understand so they shun it. Just like people that shunned electricity, mechanical devices and machinery, and drugs and vaccinations.

You’re a simpleton.
One of my customers is a leader in the field of human genomics research. I speak regularly with their research scientists. Even they admit they only know what small portions of our DNA does. Bits and pieces here and there.
Let alone the DNA of all the different plants and animals they are working with.
Let alone what will happen when they mix the DNA in ways that have never been done before.
So if a guy who’s personal assistant has a PhD in BioChemistry doesn’t know what all the little pieces do just who should we believe?
Luddite indeed, what an idiot you are.

Proponents of embryonic stem cell research make similar assertions.
I’m more concerned about govt regulating food production and sales. We’ve heard about small markets being raided and shutdown in recent years; seemingly a crime to harvest/produce locally.
What happens when we have practically no choice but to consume Monsanto’s patented byproducts for example?
It’s not an irrational fear to demand information about the origins of the food one is consuming. How the govt gets involved is complicated by its control and regulation of food supplies.
