Should we be playing God?

Very interesting thread. As a science teacher, I've spent the last two weeks in a seminar with some leading USDA scientists. I was very surprised by the rapid growth of genetic knowledge (and techniques) in the last 15 years.

Today I was in the lab of a scientist who was able to insert a bioluminescing gene (from another organism) into plant cells. That's true genetic engineering of complex cells.

We are on the road to an amazing scientific revolution. And it is happening very fast. We will prob see genetic engineering used on human beings in a very short time.

Fasten your seatbelt, we're going for a ride...
 
Already an international ban on human cloning/genesplicing is in effect.
Im not shure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.

Mulio, that ban has no legal authority however...it's basically a loose agreement by governments not to fund experiments on human cloning. And not ALL governments by any means.
 
Who needs funding? For less than $15k you can assemble a a cloning lab.
Now THAT is scary.
