If pursued humanistically, its potential to serve humanity is enormous. We will use it to synthesize expensive natural products-interferon, substances such as insulin, and human endorphins that serve as natural painkillers. We will be able to create a second 'green revolution' in agriculture to produce new high-yield, disease-resistant, self-fertilizing crops. Gene splicing has the potential to synthesize new substances we can substitute for oil, coal, and other raw materials-keys to a self-sustaining society."-John Naisbitt, Megatrends
