Well I thank you for at least your edit in clarification of the statement in the post text above. People read things like how it was initially written, generalize and it slowly paints scientists into a corner. 99.5% of scientists are good people who are just interested in understanding how the world works and trying to do things to make peoples lives easier if possible.
That said I do genetically modify organisms in my work, only for the purpose of producing things for me. ;)
As usual, a fraction are bad people is sufficient to categorize an entire field :(
