> Why?  why is there no comparision??  the process is exactly the same,  the only difference is the outcome?  its still genitic splicing,  so why would one be  "okay" and the other is not??

You're joking, right? Genetic engineering is a tool, a technique. In that respect it is no different from other tools and techniques in that it can be used in a variety of ways. 

Some GM examples: experimental use (proof of concept), medical use (cure diseases), agricultural use (GM plants), dumb use (glow in the dark fish), evil use (killer genes). 

No different from any tool, like a knife. Think of all the things you can do with a knife. Cook, carve, clean fish, save somebody's life, take somebody's life.
