I'm happy when solutions for cancer are found. A little less when the way is genetic engineering. From my ignorance I imagine the genetics like a big complex self programming software and the genetic engineering a way to change little variables in a wide enviroment. In other words: Butterlfy effect, you're welcome.

If applied to an individual person, how does this present any risks of ecological damage? Alternately, does this concentrate control of the food supply into the hands of people who might decide to starve some population out of greed/apathy/prejudice?

    genetic engineering and the validity of people's objections to it.

      I have no objections to genetic engineering but I think it is necessary to set limits. It's only my opinion.

> In other words: Butterlfy effect The point of the butterfly effect is that everything you do could be responsible for some massive change in the future. (though the odds are extremely low) "using this treatment" and "not using this treatment" are about equally likely to cause a butterfly effect.
