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.

  • Lego biology. bunch of kids playing God!

  • hmm making more polluting diesel? why not produce something that doesn't pollute our air..

  • @TheSchlongWingWong I did not watch the documentary you mentioned but I never watch TV. So media has a very low affect on me. How people affect you just depends on you. If you let them, they'll have you. If you be open-minded, you cannot be tricked. That's my way of life for me.

  • @Ambusher306 We already are in the matrix even if not literally it's an adequate metaphor for the way most people live their lives.

    Check out "Alan Watt - How the media controls your mind"

  • I think I might be one of those synthetic organisms that have escaped from the lab and is now in your cappuccino

  • dragline is not stronger than kevlar, its half according to wiki.

  • Matrix is quite possible right now..

  • Thanks for the upload. Fascinating science.

    side note, i didn't see credits for the music Cinematic Orchestra ..shame shame BBC

  • Freaky! Too bad they can't get a T-Rex & a spider! Imagine the silk now?....lol
