Why do people think this is okay?

Twisting and bending nature to the way we want it...

everyone knows this is cool stuff.
but it isn't ethical.
nature made cats a certain way.
we should not play around with the grand design.
it will come back to bite us in the future.

you're wrong, genetic engineering is a very good thing; GM crops in LEDCs are sustainable and provide resources to the community by being more resistant to unfavourable weather and diseases. genetically modifying bacteria makes insulin in large quantities, which people need.
you may think its not ethical to play around with genes, but do you think it would be ethical to just stop ?

God would not have given us the tools or the knowledge if he didn't want us to advance scientifically! If you look at it as crazy scientist then if you were in need of a kidney transplant it wouldn't be available to you because that is in your eyes messing with how nature intended things to be.

You guys are so unkind. Don't mess with nature. The day nature messes with you, you're gone forever.

I can see both sides.
However, It's not like their playing with their brain or anything, all they are doing is making it so that whatever it is, their hair, that makes it so people are miserable is now okay to be around.

If god didn't want us to mess with genetics why would he give us the intelligence to even understand it

ok one more comment for you believers. Do you use soap? What about neosporin? If your kid has an infection do you get them some penicillin? WEll STOP! Every time you use that stuff it alters the genetics of some of the germs on your skin and that is NOT how god made them.

God
so god put us all on Earth.

he made mother nature the way it was millions of years ago.

people say we should not play around with mother nature,

but what if god wanted us to play with mother nature?

and bobo, if you didn't use penicillin to treat that infection, you would either die prematurely, or be an idiot to think of using penicillin in the first place.
