"The lack of humility before nature here staggers me. Don't you see the danger inherent in what you're doing here? Genetic power is the most awesome force this planet has ever witnessed, yet you wield it like a kid who found his dad's gun. I'll tell you the problem with the scientific power in use here, it didn't take any discipline to attain it. You read what others had done, and you took the next step. You didn't earn the knowledge for yourselves, and so you don't take any responsibility for it. You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could, and before you even knew what you had, you'd patented it, and packaged it, and slapped it on a plastic lunch box, and now you're selling it.
Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."
