They're called "synthetic biologists" and they boldly claim the ability to make never-before-seen living things, one genetic molecule at a time.
Okay I am usually a knee jerk supporter of scientists and scientific progress. However in this case I have a suggestion. Perhaps these fine men would like to have a night off to watch some movies. Here are some titles that I am pretty sure they have not seen.
1. The Island of Doctor Moreau
2. Jurassic Park
3. The Fly (Jeff Goldblum version)
4. Creator
5. Godsend
Okay now you guys watch these and then think about what you are messing with! Holy Genetic Tomfoolery Batman! This is completely uncharted territory. On the one hand this is absolutely fascinating and on the other it is a little overwhelming to think that some guys in lab coats can get toasted one night and then just make up any creature that their beer saturated noggins can imagine. Hell, what can go wrong here?
