Brundlefly would probably be the first in a line of awkward Chimeras (half man, half animal) to be discriminated against traveling abroad. Insects deserve just as many rights as humans, right? Well, The United Kingdom has outlawed Chimeras. Nice one there, England.

Genetically manipulated citizens would most likely ruin the protein craze of insects as food. Most likely because of cannibalism advocacy. For the record, we’re ok with outlawing bugs as food with or without genetically manipulated citizens.

Flies carry tuberculosis and cholera. Which means the healthcare industry would get some negative pushback over their pre-existing conditions clause. Which may be a good thing for Obama care.

If you think Washington, D.C. is ruthless, callous, amoral, and borderline sociopathic, what do you think it would be like with insect politicians that have no conscience? Oh. Right. The same.

THE FLY portrays a world where women have the right to choose. That is, until they're impregnated by a Brundlefly. In which case their right is immediately revoked and they're forced to leave the hospital through a shattered wall, like an abducted hostage. Guess we know what side of the abortion debate Human-Insects would support. Click here for the scene.

According to Cronenberg, humans with fly genes mixed into their DNA have huge sexual appetites. Which would severely hurt the pharmaceutical industry’s profits. (Viagra-what?) And since pharmacists make so much money, we see this becoming another notch in the Occupy belt.

More genetically manipulated people means more of a desire for loft spaces as residence (hello, wing span?), which will inflate the prices of factory lofts. And we don’t want that. They’re already cost-prohibitive in most cities. This isn’t the ‘90’s anymore.
