What the public needs to understand is that these new technologies, especially in recombinant DNA technology, allow scientists to bypass biological boundaries altogether.

— Jeremy Rifkin

It once seemed that the most profound feats stemming from DNA-based science would spring from our ability to read and detect genes, which we…

Genetic engineering has never been about saving the world, it's about controlling the world.

— Vandana Shiva

I see worries in the fact that we have the power to manipulate genes in ways that would be improbable or impossible through conventional…

— Colin Blakemore

My worry is that other advances in science may result in other means of mass destruction, maybe more readily available even than nuclear weapons.…

— Joseph Rotblat

“An arcane microbial defense, devised by microbes, discovered by yogurt engineers, and reprogrammed by RNA biologists, has created a trapdoor to the transformative technology…
