Go back 10 thousand years to your great great great great (you get the picture) grandfather named Ug. He is sitting in his cave with his friend Nar. He sees a snake come in and bite Nar. Nar experiences a horrible death because of the venom and now Ug knows that snakes are something to be afraid of.

While some people might fear genetic engineering because it is impossible to know what effects modifying genes will have in the long-term, because their religious convictions cause them to believe that modifying what God made will bring about bad results, or for other reasons, not all who oppose genetic engineering do so because of fear.
