  • Just imagine... sheep growing wool 20 times faster than their normal rate, cows producing milk faster, harvesting energy from photosynthisis, harnessing the power of spider silk, growing corn or wheat plants that are immune to locust, disease, weather, and can be grwon any time of the year, and still be faster, human enhancement, perhaps we could even breed creatures that could aide us in terraforming other planets? We are playing god now, let us flourish and prosper!

  • I'm sorry, this just wreaks of Weird Science satire. Why not just title it something ridiculous, so I could have spotted the incredulity, rather than plant a display of text to trick me.

  • My videos are class projects. I had my requirements to fill. And while I am genuinely against GMO products, I also wanted to make it somewhat satirical and interesting to watch for the rest of the class. It accompanied a report. *shrug* Not everything is supposed to be taken so seriously.

  • come on, a tiger cow that's just being ignorant. Genetic engineering has helped us and will continue to help us for a long time whether or not you wish to believe that.

  • The companies that make these new seeds also make it illegal for farmers to regrow naturally, they have to keep buying seeds from them!

  • illegal? or nessecary? I heard about companies making seeds the bear foods/fruits which have " impotent" seeds. making the farmers dependant on the companies for the seeds. havent heard about *laws* tho. Id B interested if U could site that. thanks

  • Finally, Number 3: No again. Penicillin and insulin were not discovered using genetic engineering. And organisms engineered to manufactured these drugs (again, discovered without genetic technology) still carry the same problems as other GMOs.

  • Regarding Number Two, no, not really. In fact not at all. To say that GM animals make study of human diseases easier does not make the animals better. And considering past failures, many of the animals were much worse after tinkering.

  • Regarding Solovey23's response:Point Number One No, it hasn't. It has created corn that has killed cattle in Germany. And the DNA from the corn can survive digestion meaning that the toxin producing gene and the anti-biotic marker gene in the corn can pass to bacteria in the intestine.

  • Pessimism seeps through your pours my friend. Though skepticism is at the very least a valuable trait, the story is easily twisted the more inspection that is warranted, as the truth is all in the eye of the beholder (perception is truth, and depends upon the individual in question)

  • Uh, ok.
