The problem with sci-fi is that it comes with its own solutions. A responsible society would engineer a brainless whale it could grown in tanks back home.

The problem comes when the usual culprits of capitalism (e.g. top-down management, the unyielding greed of shareholders for quick profits, decisions made based on limited information and no ingenuity) stop us from invoking a working solution.

Competition between companies is supposed to fuel innovation and non-evil production, but mostly it promotes anti-competitive practices.
