Broadcast (2012) Adam Rutherford meets a new creature created by American scientists, the spider-goat. It is part goat, part spider, and its milk can be used to create artificial spider's web. It is part of a new field of research, synthetic biology, with a radical aim: to break down nature into spare parts so that we can rebuild it however we please. This technology is already being used to make bio-diesel to power cars. Other researchers are looking at how we might, one day, control human emotions by sending 'biological machines' into our brains.

@QuickRefs Not sure if trolling or just incredibly stupid.

Alex Jones was right.

What is the song in the intro? I will be forever grateful.

Why do i have the feeling that what with biotechnology can be done - will be done? It seems to me all the moral questions being raised are just the background music to an action movie that's already running.

nice documentary! but most stupid comments to it i ever read. i can only say so much.. i get a rash from all this nonsensical religious and half-witted bullshit going on in here :)

my 2 cents.

@CRITIKCK I assume you haven't been vaccinated or used penicilin or plan to live past 35 or eaten a cheese burger that uses various ingredients that are only available in certain seasons? Seeing as all these things are modifying, overwriting or disregarding so-called "natural" states.

"Nature" is a constructed category that don't have anything to do with our actual world or anything to do with what the world ought to be. It's a descriptive argument, not a reasonable and ethical one.

QUITE REMARKABLE WORK! synbio it's here to stay, it gonna revolutionize our society. And how other revolutionary ideas at first there's a bunch of retractors, just remember when people thought about a flat earth, geocentric universe or had doubts about evolution. The revolution starts now!

This idiot seems to think that fuel produced by biology is bad.

It's 100% carbon neutral, because it pulls the carbon from the atmosphere.

What the hell?
