SO-CALLED "TRANSGENIC" EXPERIMENTS: FASCINATING BUT UNETHICAL? "...Wesley J. Smith ... In recent years, scientists have mixed the DNA of a jellyfish with that of a monkey, creating a "transgenic" animal that glows in the dark. ("Transgenic" means possessing the genes of more than one type of organism.) Scientists have also inserted spider DNA into the genes of goats, creating ewes that produce milk containing spider-web silk. The goal of the project is to extract sufficient web silk -- one of the strongest and lightest substances known -- to create an industry in spider-silk products. But what about human transgenic research? Are any biotech companies or researchers putting animal DNA into human embryos? Nobody knows. But unbelievable as it may sound, some bioethicists and philosophers explicitly endorse engineering animal DNA into human embry..." http://www.orthodoxytoday.org/articles2/SmithTranshumanists.php
