Tiki the Penguin has exposed me to all that is unholy and evil in the malicious world of science. Genetic engineering is about scientists altering the 'recipes' for making life - the genes which you find in all living things. Doing this is very clever and could be very useful. But it's all happening much too fast and nobody knows what the effects of making and eating such living things will be. Many kinds of life could be damaged.
Nobody knows for sure.
I, however, made the mistake of continuing to read and was dragged into the mysterious world of Tiki the talking penguin. Nobody knows for sure. I started to get the impression that perhaps Tiki was just talking out of his ass. I guess it's my fault for putting so much faith into a penguin's knowledge of the human gene system, but hell, I assumed that since the penguin learned how to talk, he could easily be some kind of genetic engineer or nuclear scientist. After reading on, I began to doubt this theory more and more.
