Sure, that is pretty much the point this series is going towards I think.
Also, just to deconstruct your argument a bit: Clean energy, gene engineered crops, new medicines. So how did we get power and electricity to make new molecules and do this research? At one time it almost certainly came from fossil fuels. Fuels you (as in your country or whomever is funding your research) probably fought over or traded for or something. What if you discover 20 years down the line that your carefully engineered crops are poisoning people and making them sick, BUT it is the only food source left in the world. Would you continue eating/making them? Or would you just die? There's a whole bunch of other arguments I'm sure, and I'm aware of how flimsy and hypothetical mine are as well. I'm just saying things really shouldn't be that clean and neat.
