Ron Epstein (a former denizen of this very buddha-hell)  has written quite a 
lot on GMO (genetically modified organisms) in the food chain. A sample of 
his work can be found here:

You can scare up others by typing "GMO Buddhism" in Google (the poor man's 
substitute for education).

I am not sure what kind of genetic manipulation you are asking about, Erik. 
Perhaps you are more interested in human eugenics than in GMO.
