This Is Disturbing

Scientists have begun putting genes from human beings into food crops in a dramatic extension of genetic modification. The move, which is causing disgust and revulsion among critics, is bound to strengthen accusations that GM technology is creating "Frankenstein foods" and drive the controversy surrounding it to new heights.

Do think there's anyone hanging with these nerds saying, "Hey guys, this is kinda weird, gross, disgusting and dangerous. Maybe we shouldn't be doing this." Probably not.

A free-market doesn't mean anarchy. But statists are unusually unable to make that distinction.
