You're forgetting how much of everyday life is affected by Genetic Meddling and Cloning in a good way. |

This discussion is a spin off of genetic engineering being declared a deadly sin. |

If you have a sense of caring for others, you will manifest a kind of inner strength in spite of your own difficulties and problems. With this strength, your own problems will seem less significant and bothersome to you. By going beyond your own problems and taking care of others, you gain inner strength, self-confidence, courage, and a greater sense of calm.Dalai Lama

I agree with the church about that as well, but I'm sure it's not for the same reasons. |

Modern Medicines, Cancer Treatments, Possible Cure for Syckle-Cell Anemia, Pretty much all produce. |

You said everyday life. Most of that stuff hasn't happened yet. As Taosaur said, there are so many things that need to be done in the field of medicine that could help so many more people, spending tons of money on cloning is not the best way to help the most people. |

1. True I guess... |
|
I'm not against helping people with new therapies, it's just that there are so many other things that could be done first, that would help a lot more people for a lot less money. |

Touching on medicine again, the one area of useful application I've seen are GMOs that produce pharmaceuticals, insulin, etc. The irony there is that these chemicals are late-stage interventions for conditions arising from the nutritional and environmental impacts of our food system, which relies on GMOs. Again, it's not the science that's the problem, but what we're doing with it, and what we fail to address while concentrating on making shiny new things we can sell. The root problem, or one root, is healthcare-for-profit: sheer idiocy. |

How the hell would they be blander and less-satisfying? That's like saying using machines to create cars makes them worse! |
|
Conventionally grown produce out of an average grocery store or chain restaurant tends to have less flavor than organic or garden-grown produce. Meals prepared with that produce just...satisfy less. It might have a bit to do with the skill level and concentration of people cooking with poor ingredients, but the fact that industrial agriculture operates in an overdetermined, purposefully impoverished ecology probably has a lot to do with the poor quality as well. |

Well that has nothing to do with the process of creating them was my point |
