Your ignorance is appalling and your morals are worse.

>Monsanto, Novartis, and other companies have made billions of dollars selling us known carcinogens and teratogens,

That’s true. It’s also irrelevant. It’s like saying we shouldn’t use guns because guns are used to commit murder. Guns prevent many more murders than they cause, my own included. Bio-technology has also saved my life, your life, and all our lives many times over. If you don’t think having your life saved is a good thing, you’re a fool. Bio-technology does more good than harm. Ergo, it is a good thing.


> that holds as much water as nessie's cat killing for medical progress.

Indeed it does. Killing cats for medical progress is a good thing. I have seen with my own eyes cats being tortured with electrodes in their brains. At the time (thirty years ago) it disgusted me. And yeah, the cats suffered. But that very research has recently led to the development of a brain implant that treats some kinds of Parkinsons Disease, and thus eliminates a great deal of human suffering. If you would rather that humans suffer than cats, you don’t have Parkinsons Disease, and neither does anyone you love. You are alos grossly immoral.


>did any one on this sight manage to make it through high school, or does this moronic behavior count as humor here?

(1.) An ad hominem is not a rebuttal.

(2.) It is you who are displaying your ignorance. Educate yourself. Start today.
