So I have no idea what I'm doing. Anyways, I read some stuff about how groups want label genetically engineered crops in the local supermarket in order to alert customers. Another guy said why that fear of science will kill us. And uh, the Pope heard that some science guys synthetically made some cells and was like, "Interesting." (I'm practicing my register for the audience I may write to, you know, the internet savy, 17-30 male nerd/time-waster how seeks humor in what they read... how am I doing?)
      All of these events link to some very important that are apparent in genetic engineering. The war with people who are against genetically engineered food and those who are in favor of it boils down to the issue of development and progress. The article with the Pope deals with the the same thing. Though the answer is unexpected, because it is perceived that religion is usually not okay with anything that messes with life, the issue of progress and research is discussed. 
       Aside from the scientists, the rest of the stakeholders are assumed to know very little or uneducated on the subject. As a result, looks like my proposal is going to be about alerting my audience. Since the only thing closest to attainable reality that the stakeholders have in relation to genetic engineering is genetically engineered food, I may have to address those who are in opposition. And when I first came up with this topic, I did not even want to mention engineered crops because of how trivial I thought the arguments between the sides were. Lucky me. Alright lets give it a shot...

       To all those nay-sayers, haters, and master debaters, I have message for you. Today we are talking genetic engineering, and I know what you're thinking: "Is this going to be Another rant telling me how genetic engineering is the best thing since sliced bread?" And first thing I'd say is, "Do you know how ironic that statement is since the bread is probably genetically modified?" But yeah, I answer questions with questions, and frankly, I'm ranting. (Am I done yet?)
       Seriously, everyone's got their own beliefs. And complaining about the amount of hormones, and chemicals that are injected into something that we are eating is a legitimate complaint. However, is the science of making plants more durable, more fruitful, more water retentive, and more better by the manipulation of genes less important than making sure we, and those less fortunate, have edible food that will survive? It is not like genetically modified food has been the direct cause of anyone's death. In fact I know it hasn't because I googled it once. And, the Pope's got my back, just go ask him. He's like, "ya man that stuff is 'interesting.'" Who knows, some day the process used by genetically changing the plants may YOUR antiscience life (yeah its a word, I looked it up a little bit less times than death statistic mentioned earlier).

I actually don't get this comic.
