Comment from UTT:
Genetic engineering has opened up a Pandora's box that will soon bring horror and disaster to planet earth. Human beings are motivated by greed and lack wisdom. The results from man playing God will bring total disaster to the earth
January 24 - Organisms created with synthetic DNA pave way for entirely new life forms
Article: Cloning And Genetic Engineering
From the moment life gained a foothold on Earth its story has been written in a DNA code of four letters. With G, T, C and A - the molecules that pair up in the DNA helix - the lines between humans and all life on Earth are spelled out. Now, the first living organisms to thrive with an expanded genetic code have been made by researchers in work that paves the way for the creation and exploitation of entirely new life forms.
Scientists in the US modified common E coli microbes to carry a beefed-up payload of genetic material which, they say, will ultimately allow them to program how the organisms operate and behave. The work is aimed at making bugs that churn out new kinds of proteins which can be harvested and turned into drugs to treat a range of diseases. But the same technology could also lead to new kinds of materials, the researchers say.
