When our science was simpler so were the risks in many ways
Today and tomorrow that is no longer true
Tinkering with nature is getting more dangerous
As if hell bent on self destruction the benefits are described in glowing terms and the negatives downplayed
Sadly it is those we have not thought of that really do the damage
Time to slow down and think a bit more
Not possible where money and perceived short term gain are King
And that is where we are today
Like frozen rabbits in a car's headlights

A thought could we change our biology?
Some scientists say we can now modify our DNA through our thoughts, emotions and beliefs
If this is true then we can literally become what we want to be
Free from our biology
Free to move to a nicer, kinder us
Free to create ourselves.
But then again we could become even worse than we are now
Just think of your worst nightmare human and magnify it further than you thought
possible
No thank you!
On second thoughts let's stay with the nicer human
Here we enter the crux of all technical advances
There is always a flip side
Always a negative scenario or possibility
Unfortunately the pace we are going at means that the negative is often upon us before we can react or understand where the so called advance is leading us
And yet even if we do try to prevent it there is usually someone somewhere who goes ahead anyway
Issues that will most likely be addressed once the genie is out of the bottle
Once the aspect no one thought becomes apparent
