I pulled this off the Natural Law website.  Truly, I never expected them to
take such a Luddite, fear-mongering position:

"When genetic engineers play around with the most intimate structures of
natural organisms, their genetic blueprints, their actions are as dangerous
as those of nuclear physicists, when they rip apart the finest subatomic
structures of the atom which lead to the potential for nuclear destruction.
Although the poisonous effects of genetic engineering on our food and
environment are creeping and silent, the destruction to life that they are
bringing will, in the long run, be like a biological nuclear blast."

Talk about yellow journalism!   More on this later.
