Amazing what what they can do.

animals shouldnt be used for genetically modified projects, has anyone ever thought what it was like to see what it was like from there point of view?what it is like through there eyes?this is not what they were meant to be!!! they are suppose to be a pure speices!! So DUMMIES PUT DOWN YOUR NEEDLES!!!!

If your rambling on about scientists putting cancer-treating medicines in eggs, you've obviously never had to deal with the death of a loved one.

hi

Glow-in-the-dark cats and web-spinning goats... what's up with that???

i don't understand ecactally do this it is rather bizarre. I guess it is good but it is not right they should just be the way they were made not genetically changed

You aren't looking at this as you should be. Genetic engineering can save lives and make ours more convenient.

I have a feeling that in the attempts for this more than one animal was hurt. So SAD :( !!

yes, i know! why do they have to test on animals when they have fruits and veggies

i agree!!!=)

Why aren''t we more informed that these changes HAVE ALREADY been made ?!!!!! And we are supposed to believe that some of these creations wont cause a castrophe!!!! or be engineered to cause a catastrophe!!!

hey, nothing is messed up with gmo's. first of all, i believe science and religion are two sides of the same penny, so i believe in god, so god would not of allowed us to get smart enough to do this. and diseases? why would a different genetic structure hurt us? by the logic of a gmo mutating you with its genetic structure, than an apple's genetic structure would do the same!

Yes, we are created as smart animals, but not all we do and create is good. We have created the atomic bomb - not good. we have created drugs that ruin people's lives. We have killed the environments of millions of animals, driving them to extinction - all thanks to our 'smart technology' like TXT and excavators. Our invasive lifestyles have brought the extinction rate form 1 animal every 100 years (before humans existence ) to 1,000 animals every year.

Yes God did give us this ability but we humans shouldnt have the ability to change or alter our environment. We cant have an utopian world! how far will humans go with out regulations. By using these animals we are hurting them and their environment which is just so wrong! the have no rights and are treated like propperty not organisms.These tests can cause negative mutations, unpredictable outcomes, and side effects that highly educated scientist cannot even predict.. This brings me to ethics. WHat

Thank you! finally someone mentions the outnumbering cons of gmo's!

i think there is nothing wrong with using our minds to make the world a better place for everyone.god himself gave us the ability to think and to change things,so y should we waste our power?he created everything for us.and i mean everything.so whoever says that we must not change the world as it is,is so naive.and be sure it is not against God,religion or anything.as we Muslims have in our quran :"Do you not see that Allah has made subject to you whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the

I completely agree with you.

i agree with scientist who is below my comment he is so cool and correct about genetic engeneering he will be our leeder of the world and i will have his babys

the more the animals suffer during genetic engineering the more succesfull the progress is :)

It's sad to say this but who-ever did the first GM plant or animal messed up nature right away. Everything in nature is so intricately linked together and relient on everything else that even the slightest little bit of change has an effect.

Monsanto in 1971 obtained the first genetic engineered patents on living oranisims. And that has led us down the path of being ginnie pigs of there GMO foods that we purchacse every day in the local super market. Take the "Herman" cow that they spliced DNA from a human into, with the hopes of making milk more compatable with human proitens for baby formulas. I could go on for days with what has been done for the last 40 years with the GMO's . Do your research. You have a great handle on what

who does this?? monsanto

Hunans destroy this very nature

actually while God created Nature the Nature we know is a very corrupt version of the one God created, as all of creation fell with Adam

It was all in God's plan for Adam to fall, even in his corruption God still loved him. Everything created on this planet was made for us. Why are we changing things that weren't meant to be changed?

The only one who could know that is God himself. Not you or I. Or any man that wrote anything in any time!.

Firstly I am an atheist, I went to a Catholic school and was taught to believe that God was; omnipotent (all powerful), omniscient (all knowing) and omnibenevolent (all loving). Therefore if he is all knowing he would know that we would discover/invent this technology and if this is against his will as you said, being all powerful he would simply not allow us to create it. This technology has the potential to cure life threatening diseases, saving millions of lives therefore if God is all loving

same goes with Mustard gas! all the other things man has invented in this view of yours and God's then i see? I don't buy that also. I buy the fact that God made the heaven's and earth and left them for us to do as we please as he made us in his image. they in his view are not that big or important as we may think! ha! :)

Suffer away! I would rather stick with Nature's way then Genetic Engineering! I think we have done enough to Nature in the name of Sceintist already! just my view of course.

If we are destroying the land and god doesn't want us to, Why doesn't he/she show himself in another form and stop us

Would you rather have ten animals die, or have millions of people pass away? I agree that it can be sad, but I feel that it is worth it.

your sooo slow think about it what if you were an animal? would you like to come out with three heads and six legs DUMMIE!!! >:D

cure some diseases, but potentially trigger other hundreds new diseases due to chain reactions for disturbing natural balance. nowadays technology tends to create another multiple problems over a problem unconsciously.

We know that there are crimes and we don't commite them so are yo saying just because we can, we should? no we were givin the choice to, not the right to, we don't have any right to meddle with the perfect nature God created, it is without imperfection and if changes need to be made then he will make them.

1. I agree with your stance on whether religion should be allowed to dictate science.

2. What about all of the diseases GMOs will cause? Any thoughts on that?

No way!

it is sooooooooo awesome

We're all gonna die!! darn it!!

who does this?

Tried to sell his soul to the devil.... INSUFFICIENT FUNDS

I can't believe that this is what our country has come to. Oh wait, I can. The agenda to make a profit and deceive millions of people absolves the potential harmful effects that could take place years or even decades down the line. This is a direct result of our capitalist country, globalization, and the corporations that have taken over our lives. It's really sad that most Americans aren't even aware of the processes, practices, and consequences behind the food that we are eating.

U ARE SO RIGHT. WHAT IS THIS CRAZY CORRUPTED WORLD COMING TO. SICK SOCIETY.

We all human being will slowly vanish at molecular level, no pain, no chemical ,no intoxcation., just back to earth

Progress is in the eye of the beholder. I personally think humanity is rather ignorant. We had this whole genetic engineering thing as a debate in college. Gene modification IS NOT domestication. I have listened to sooooooooooooooooo many idiots over the years that assume it is. My anthropology textbook said "Since nothing bad has ever occurred from domestication then there should not be any harm from genetically modified products". I can think of plenty adverse side effects to domestication. Killer

so your me, then you must be I, so I is no longer me and you are no longer I how do we make me understand how I should interpret you in respective terms. Can you answer that me and by me I mean you not I.

this is all good things,gmo crops,....you have two ways only...to be killed by chemical spray on the crops or gradually die by cancer ...or consume gmo crops which require less chemical spray or zeero dose.

Homo sapiens sapiens is on it;s way out, but be not saddened , the new bio-engineered girlies will be superb.

A gene gun isn't violent, is it?

Only on a molecular level!
GRINS (Good one)

how do you selectively breed a tomato to have a fish gene?

Oh Horrors! It's a conspiracy! We're all going to turn into mutant zombies from eating this stuff! It's going to kill us!! Oh no! The sky is falling!!

Get a brain people. People have been doing genetic engineering for thousands of years, it's called selective breeding. No matter what, it's still just protein and fat and sugar so stfu about it.

dude no wayyyyyy

"Selective breeding" is NOT what they are doing now with regards to GMO. They are using guns to violenmtly smash a gene anywhere into the DNA strand of a plant or organism with the hopes that that gene will be expressed. There are many many studies that show that GMO foods are toxic and dangerous and it is all being suppressed simply in order to promote the biotech industry. Do some actual reading and learn some facts before you spout foolishness. It's embarrassing. Associating "selective breeding"

Hormones have been added to cows diets for a long time. 6 year old girls start developing breasts. Men also. But it couldn't be from the female hormones passed in the beef, could it? DDT was great stuff when it came out. So was thalidomide. Americans can be so naive and think they can fix the world. Sometimes things are a little more complicated and interrelated. You like to play god and improve on nature? Be careful...

DDT is still in use in many parts of the world and is very safe. DDT has very likely saved more lives than any other single chemical due to reducing disease carrying mosquitos (malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever, etc.).
The problem with DDT in the US was that it was applied at rates 1000 times what was needed to kill insects.

What can be done to alter the affects of or prevent the XXY47 Male (Klinefelter's Syndrome) condition from occurring?

we really don't know the full effects of what we are doing without researching outcomes of altering our food supply, upsetting the balance in nature which will have adverse effects on our environment{ecosystems}and adverse effects on our health. these changes can become unalterable.
