The advancements in genetic technologies are dangerous because they deal in creating inherently extreme solutions. A lot of evolutionary stability is dependent on a statistical distribution of genotypic/phenotypic traits that have roots in a complex reservoir of genetic material. Personally I feel one cannot simply hinge an entire 'solution' on one inserted gene. The process can probably be considered analogous to 'monkey-patching' the genome IMO.
