Well you're the expert, you must be right.

    By all means correct me if I'm wrong, but genetic research is a broad field and advancements in one area do not necessarily lead to advancements in others. GMO crops have been around for decades now and I fail to see the value of what these researchers are attempting to do.

    Well yes, the way your thinking about it is wrong, because advancements in one area can lead to advancements in other areas, and often they do. I mean it's not a guarantee, it doesn't "necessarily" happen that way, but nothing is guaranteed.

    But then I've already made that argument, so I'm not sure why I'm bothering to say it again.
