This is not an ares where I really know enough to get into a detailed debate. But i did see a show a while back about how complicated gene modification is. Apparently even after they discover which gene controls which traits there are still other parts of the DNA that control when genetic activity is turned on and off. Researchers also admitted that they were still not sure exactly how changing one gene could effect other parts of the DNA.
