They monopolize the plants and animals, which still actually belong to everyone. Much more attention is paid to the dangers of genetic engineering than to the destruction of the environment but what is despicable and exploitative is the patenting of life forms and the current misuse of technology by various biotech, pharmaceutical, agricultural and seed companies. What is going to happen in the worst case, especially in face of and concerning exploitation and destruction of nature that could be reduced? In comparison, a genetically modified super invader is almost nothing. Moreover, we will integrate it everywhere possible what could have funny or tragic consequences. After all, the underlying method is based on an adaptive antiviral defense mechanism of bacteria. One should imagine what comes together in a sewer system or the deltas of rivers in the long run. Also, the even more unrestricted contamination of nature is thus open to the flood of new life. Imagine a biotech toy box for children, with which they can tinker their cuddly pets or lethal viruses. The critical difference is that a cheap mass application is possible with CRISPR. The susceptibility for errors was different, but in principle, the researchers always played to a part the crazy scientist who created new life. Be it the use of radioactivity or toxicity, the gene gun, PCR, TALEN, CNF or genome editing. The previous methods before CRISPR were also not exactly precision instruments. One of the essential key technologies for the future of humanity
