I remember thinking forever that that message and warning was overblown and then when my sister started doing bio work in her 2nd year undergrad that included gene manipulation of bacteria and fruit flies (like down to editing stuff with a computer to inject later) I definitely felt a brief pang of "my god weve gone too far."
There's that one webcomic where some cavemen make fire, but then the fire spreads too much, and then they're like "we were clearly not meant to make fire, we should not play god".
