It might MK....

Things like this are great tools, but just like atomic theory, you have to keep a watch on it to be used properly.

A knife can kill, but can also save someone's life (as well as julianne fries, but that is another subject....). This Genome mapping can be great for organ cloning, fertility treatments and elimination of known deleterious sequences (Altzheimers, etc). But it also has to be kept a close eye on. No using it in a fascist military means of ID, avoidance of genome specific biological weapons (the true magic bullet), limited or no engineering your kid to be "perfect" and eliminating the genetic diversity that helps our species survive things like plagues and other maladies.

So this is both great, and scary news. Lets see how the scientifically illeterate paranoid constituents of the world handle it.
