I love science. The advances in my lifetime alone that have improved nearly every aspect of how I live are downright staggering. Sometimes science starts to travel down a path towards ruin, meddles with things that man was not meant to understand. An example? Opposable thumbs.
There's a new study that suggests researchers have discovered part of the genetic code that gave humans thumbs. Oh, sure, they might figure out some way to use this to help humanity. But all it would take is one insane genius to start performing experiments on animals and then we're screwed. I've seen Planet of the Apes. I know how this is going to end.

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?
Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

Personally it's a win/win for me. Either we all die, or we learn bunches.
It doesn't matter who dies or what gets destroyed, as long as we learn something in the end, right?
