That sounds like a surefire recipe for holding back progress...:) If people had never decided to play around with things they didn't understand, science would be in a sorry state.
Yes and you're playing with peoples lives. You decide to fool around with someones DNA that doesn't show the consequeces for some time. Before you know it, it has spread through so much of the population you are unable to control it.
There is a difference between developing nuclear technology and dropping a bomb in the middle of a city to see the effects it has on everyone. With DNA its even tougher for you don't know what will happen years form now when interDNA-1 has offspring with interDNA-2 which creates something you could have never forseen.
I would be semi-interested in exactly how this works. If it were highly configurable and able to turn off and on it could be nice for someone like my mom. From what I have read it seems as though they are trying to be a bit sneaky about it and that usually means it's pure crap.
