When I hear things like this it really makes me step back and think.. Many mixed feelings when it comes to genetically engineered animals.. The old saying goes don't mess with mother nature. this could be the beginning of the end in some way.. Or it could be the beginning of the beginning.. possibly could lead to many new human applications later such as growing organs and such. Or it could lead to a super viruses that mutate to to attack stronger and more resistant animals that would eventually develop and kill man.. I have o answers only very skeptical about genetically altered life. it has to lead to new bugs that will be more resistant to what they are developed to resist. thats nature, what you make stronger only changes something else. Are we going to be able to stay ahead of these bugs?
