      I think that one of the elements that sets us apart as a species is our ability to learn and understand how complex systems work. There are obviously limits when it comes to ‘manipulation of life’ and that is what many of the health and safety regulatory boards are there for. I think that in order to understand how things work,. we have to manipulate them to see what effect that has. The 3 basic questions of science are what is it? How does it work? How did it come to be there?
      Whats your view?
