I can understand the religious people wanting humans to be as God intended.
Fred, are you saying the slippery slope is that of making "super humans", lizard men, ect ?
The thing that concern me the most is that if there are unforeseen consequences it won't be like fixing a hole in the Ozone layer. Instead any damage will be passed on genetically forever.
Geneticists are a lot like experts on the brain. They don't know nearly as much as they act like they do. Even the best and the brightest geneticist can not go into a human genome and decide exactly what the resulting human will be like. the don't fully understand it all. So I am afraid they will do something that seems simple like determine hair color and accidentally effect something else.
