What good does it bring to kill the workers? Workers are replaced by someone else. The deceased family/friends will despise the murderers and the people will not support such " environmentalists " what good is it ?

Violence can be a useful tool, but in this instance your idea is pretty stupid.

Let me put it this way: With Brain Computer Interface we'd be able to control machines with our thoughts. The BCI picks on our thoughts and converts it into commands for the machine to understand.

Similarly, when we achieve mastery over genetic programming, instead of a BCI tech, we can command the cells to form an organic one instead, To create a new organ that works closely with the brains.

With this new organ maybe in a similar manner to BCI we will be able to upload/download thoughts, which will eventually pave the way for exchanging experiences and skill sets. I hope you get what I am trying to say. We'd be gaining skills not by genetic engineering but by exchanging our experiences with each other.

I did not go through the entire thing however I feel like it makes sense. When it comes to the future, we always imagine cyborgs, AI robots and what not.

But the the thing is we're reaching a point where Technology and Biology are merging, we're starting to be able to reprogram genetic code to acquire new skills, by updating the genetic code and if we keep at it in time we'd be able to design new organs that greatly improve human capabilities, like a super organ that can instantly detect & eliminate pathogens before the symptoms show, stop biological aging .

Maybe in time we'll be able to design organic transmitters that are in sync with our brains and we might be able to communicate via telepathy, download and upload skills and memories using organic components instead of implanting machines to do so
