So do antibiotics and condoms.

To agressively push into an unknown future with a pubic wholly uneducated about its implications; political, economic, social, ethical, etc. is a recipe for disaster.

Every technology has its zealots and that's not a bad thing. But I will argue that the breaks need to be put on your advocacy until the consequences, all of the consequences, have at least been discussed in public by those who will benefit, or suffer, the consequences.

If 1/10th the financial profits were potentially available from selling antibiotics fighting disease would have advocates like you. It doesn't. And the benefits would be greater. This is about money ... not technology.
