Genetic Engineering: Yay Or Nay?

[frank220]

I feel humans should not be allowed to play God. If we can function in our current state, let's function in our current state.

Nay. Who here has seen Children of Men?

I might have post alot on this thread and all but one last thing i am not sure if it is ture or and urban myth or just some lie or some crap sci-fi but once i was told a compeny was considering taking part of a animal gene (dont have to be different from a gene in a humman) implating it into an embryo leting it grow then selling it as live stock into to slavery anyhting as they would then own its genes. Again I want to know is it a lie or not?

At least part of that is true. The british government voted a while ago (I don't know the outcome) on whether or not to allow these hybrid embryos. I think they were for research purposes though, not for slavery.

thx just wanted to know it would be a way to bypass alot of law GE that is.

Im not too worried vanity isnt really an issue you can have 100% complete control over someones DNA but that doesn't mean they are going to look exactly how you want them because of enviromental factors.
Ultimatly mass human genetic enginering would be entirly pointless and completely infesible
