It is obvious to anyone who has ever understood what DeoxyriboNucleic Acid is that it is only a matter of time before we open the Pandora's Box and there is no turning back.

I learned DNA in high school - it took several weeks to understand it and protein synthesis - and I knew back about 1970 or so it would change the planet as much as the computer and the motor.

It is only a matter of time before we ask the inevitable and that is why do we get old and die.
