Techno-Evolutionary Disaster

(7)

In fact, I can imagine a series of commercials which are aired by a pharmaceutical firm which has developed an antagonist to the smell of human shit, causing that objectional smell to be modified such that it smells like fried chicken. Or fresh pizza. This is speculative of course because nobody knows what smells will be favored in the future. But it doesn't take much imagination to wonder about the eventual result of a genetic change in the human genome which would cause human poop to smell like fried chicken: A Disaster.

Can we get off this subject? Thank you.
