from 'A many colored glass : reflections on the place of life in the universe' by Freeman Dyson
"Domesticated biotechnology, once it gets in the hands of women and children, will give us an explosion of diversity of new living creatures, rather than the monoculture crops that the big corporations prefer. New lineages will proliferate to replace those that monoculture farming and deforestation have destroyed. Designing genomes will be a personal thing, a new artform as creative as painting or sculpture. Few of the creations will be masterpieces, but all will bring joy to their creators and variety to our fauna and flora."
