What? A major reason we’re in the current mess is that we don’t know how to do this.
Well, we are not very good at it, but generally speaking, however capitalism seems to be acting to degrade our food, food companies are not knowingly routinely putting poisonous additives in food.

Both of these things are a big improvement on Victorian times!
So maybe we are a tiny bit better at it than we used to be?

We have never made a safe human. CogEms would be safer than humans though because they won’t unionize and can be flipped off when no longer required.
