beware the takeover of dino-chickens in your future

Interesting,


Killer bees comes to mind. Honey bees that were altered to make more honey.


When something is genetically altered, it does make one wonder.

It is fascinating, but one does have to be careful.
 
I'm not surprised.

After all, reptiles taste like chicken. Wouldn't it make sense if they both came from the same origin? ;)

:lol: Just about everything that is unusual taste like chicken.


I have eaten Gator tail. Yummy! It sure doesn't taste like chicken to me! :giggle:
 
LOL They've got a HUGE mountain of a task ahead of them! Not easy as there's alot of guess work there, still no full understanding of genetic engineering at the molecular level.

Genetic engineering has been around for a long, long time.

Some animals and species have already been genetically engineered.

Hence, The Killer Bees that I have mentioned before.

Very invasive deadly little suckers... I say!!

I can see the restaurant a century from now - Hover to your nearest Dino-fil-a... LOL

:lol:

Yeah! It probably will take just as long to deem it safe to be edible!!

:giggle:

Gosh! Now you got me pondering what the future will be like... :shock:


What other species will they alter!!!! :Ohno:
 
I think that we should not mess with evolution. I can understand one's curiosity but at the same time once you alter an animal that has reproductive capabilities, then you have basically re-engineered the species from what nature has pre-programmed for that particular species.

Altering animals to meet our needs isnt something new, however doing it on the molecular level is as we've only been at this level for half a century. Only recently were scientists really able to begin to understand it, how it works, and what parts affect development and physical characteristics.

Look at dog breeds, we have been breeding and crossing breeds of dogs for centuries to obtain what we feel is the ideal dog for a given situation. We culled the dogs that did not have the desirable traits, and those that had the best of the desirable traits went on to become prize stud dogs and bitches. When we became successful at that, we understood the basics of genetically altering animals, but no certain traits were gauranteed.

These days at the embryonic levels, we can almost gaurantee certain traits. We have cloned animals, we have made great strides in medical research using stem cells, but we have to draw the line somewhere and say hey - when it comes to this we are messing with nature which can be extremely dangerous.
