Nature already has the answers, folks. The plants, weeds and herbs growing in your region right now are powerful agents of healing. All we need to do is stop suppressing the information about the medicinal properties of these plants and start respecting nature's wisdom rather than exploiting it for profit.
There's also the inherent danger of genetically modifying entire crops and exposing them to the open air. The risk of cross-pollination with other plants leading to out-of-control destruction of native plant species is very real, and yet it remains routinely ignored by those involved with these sorts of projects.
Now, in a larger sense, I'm not opposed to the genetic manipulation of plants or humans by an advanced civilization seeking truth and knowledge, but our current civilization is nowhere near advanced enough to handle genetic modifications to living organisms. We don't have the ethics, the personal responsibility, nor the spiritual foundation that should be a prerequisite for these sort of "playing God" experiments. As a civilization, we are childish, exploitive and egoistic. We have not yet earned the right to mess with nature at this level. And I suspect there will be a tremendous price levied upon us someday for this meddling.
