At 1:05 affecting the TRIPLICATE also affects the ensuing OFFSPRING for GENERATIONS to come. This is how DISEASE is "passed" down (or UP for that matter)!

SCARY stuff, indeed! I would rather we keep the ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU a movie! Great post. Provcative thought!

omg i'm learning this in Biology and it's crazyy stufff

Exactly- and when was the last time science did anything perfect? The rush to make it profitable will superceed perfection and multiply the chance for error. The quick cash-in and notoriety of genetic engineering will push the limits of caution and bring about errors. Im not talking godzilla or vampires, Im talking airborne ebola, flesh eating bacteria, and other fun variations that result from our plunge into the unknown.

That's only if you don't know the programming code extremely well. It's like computer programming, you need to get it PERFECT.

Imagine that or worse, and anything like that can result while we manipulate the DNA for other reasons. We may try to cure some disease and create a super-virus as a side effect, or cause our own sterility to eliminate cancer, you just dont know. Remove or add any material to a pie recipe and what you get is not the pie you wanted.

Let's just hope that they don't make a cordyceps fungus species that infects humans to spread the spores...

Problem is long before we will comprehend what we are doing we will just THINK we do, and the results of those expiremental years will be new viruses, terrible genetic diseases, sterile offspring and unforseen results. Typically we assume we know all the repurcussions and just proceed when you know we just are not advanced enough to play with this. Pandoras box. |
