Critique of Genetic Engineering
(Chengde Chen)

Genetic engineering has a million benefits
I have just one reason against it
yet any figure multiplied by zero is zero
Technology is supposed to support human existence, whereas
if genes are written by ‘all’ the conditions of nature
isn’t ‘quoting out of context’ man outlawing himself?

The temperature on the Earth’s surface is within ±50ºC
It’s a very small range in the thermometer of the universe
but just the home for us, the creature of 37ºC, to survive
Believers wonder at God’s co-ordination, yet it’s only nature
All existing species are adapters to this condition; those otherwise
either never had a chance, or have been eliminated

Should God, seized by a whim, play at ‘planet engineering’
rearranging the order of the solar system, what would happen?
If Earth were one step inwards to the position of Venus
the mighty 480ºC would evaporate us into clouds
If Earth were one step outwards to the position of Mars
the minus 140ºC would cast us into super-ice

Earth is in our genes!
Genes are nature’s vertical memory and horizontal logic
The process of adapting and eliminating carves different species
while millions of special codes are millions of locks and doors –
shutting foreign viruses out with DNA incompatibility
So we don’t catch cats’ flu, nor do dogs our hepatitis

On the other hand, manufactured genes come suddenly
sharing no responsibility of history and short-circuiting species
When transgenic pig-organs are successfully implanted into humans
pigs’ viruses also leap over millions of years to join us
We would be exposed to innumerable biological weapons
AIDS and SARS may just be a humble beginning

The biological world is a self-contained all-dimensional computer
Messing up one sequence could throw the whole system into chaos
which means God would have to restart it all over!
So, He would rather man even play with planets than modify genes:
‘If you must, My children, please modify Mine first
To recreate the world, I’d need enhanced energy and perseverance’

(Philosophy Today, Vol.17, No.45)

CHENGDE ITS JUST A PILE OF CRAP

NOW ABOUT "ANIMAL FARM"

everyone on this program is psychotic including the host
animals are just like us
they have feelings and emotions
they are not "meat"
or material for experiments

THERE SHOULD BE NO IMPARTIALITY ABOUT A SHOW LIKE THIS
ITS TOTAL BARABARISM

I liked your poem a little bit more than GHOSTBALLS'. Rudolph
