The only real problem with us trying to fix things or solve problems by experimenting with genetic eginering is that it's one of those things where the experiment and the box are a little hard to define.
Mechanical technology with it's entirely human produced energy dependence is one thing. But mix-matching DNA and other parts in living organisms is something else entirely. Sure it's all supposed to be controled and to benefit mankind, feed the poor and starving. Don't forget that it was some other social experiment that made them poor and starving and a current economic one that keeps them that way.
If you're really interested in learning about genetic eginering and manipulation i highly suggest Dr. David Suzuki's book "From Naked Ape to Superspecies"
The old adage about looking and leeping shouldn't be forgotten, and in theis realm we have no way to really look without leaping.
