I was thinking. If you make everything resistant to lead e.g., enviromental protection laws will dissapear because lead is not toxic to any organism any more. So the industry can blow as much lead out of the chimney as it wants. But then, lead is not toxic to any organism anymore, so what's the point? What's the point of preserving the status-quo then? Preserve our planet for what? If aliens arrive which are not resistant to lead?^^

Hm, that's a good point. If we could improve all living things (like a computer update) to be resistant to heavy metals, that would remove the need to avoid heavy metals. Is that an ethical solution?
