I am not talking about GMO corn or any plants. I'm fine with eating "fancy corn". I'm speaking about GE in the animal kingdom. Genetic engineering has a massive and terrifying potential. Like nuclear weapons, genetic engineering is Pandora's Box, plain and simple. Let us hope humans are smart enough not to open it, this time.
