You asked for terrible outcomes of such a scenario. In sci-fi, there's plenty. In real life, this sort of thing isn't even its infancy, it's pre-natal. I can't point to a real example of a dystopic future just the same way that you can't point to a future where it's just perfect and wonderful with no negative effect affecting anyone at all.

I'll say what I said before again (which in turn I said before); "Like I said before, we don't know the impact this will have on society - we're all speculating. It's ridiculous to suggest that out of all the known-unknowns and unknown-unknowns, there will be no negative effects from gm."

I'll get away from your hysteric tomfoolery and address your point head on (you should give it a try). You need to understand what we're saying. We're not talking about just introducing a new product, we're talking about introducing a new division into society. It would literally divide society - is it really so hard to figure out that divisions in society damages social stability?

Srsly man, brush up on your sociology.
