To serve man

According to yesterday’s Independent, “In the first modification of its kind, Japanese researchers have inserted a gene from the human liver into rice to enable it to digest pesticides and industrial chemicals.”

When I wrote up a theological framework for evaluating GM foods, I wasn’t considering the use of human genes. This certainly complicates matters. It sounds like something from the Twilight Zone.
