    Those who put the interests of industry ahead of the people, when a real
possibility exists that problems could develop should be taken out of their
positions.  If ten years from now certain gene combinations which are
destructive to other forms of life cannot be contained, because they are
forever loose in the environment gene pool, you will be held responsible. 
You are allowing others to mess with life forms which took millions of years
to develop.  These unnatural life forms will cause life to proceed in an
unnatural way.  Can you say with certainty that there will be no adverse
consequences?  Don't you think it prudent to  require public testing of any
proposed life forms, in a controlled way, before they are allowed to
possibly create unintended consequences, which can never be reverted to
their original condition, that God made?
    Get real or get out.
