New Life Forms

Do you think with the knowledge we are gaining about Cloning and DNA, that we will be able to create new life forms one day?

Yes. We've already created combinations that didn't exist without our choices (of course that also happened a while back with breeding patterns for cows and dogs....)

We already have the ability, and they have used cross dna sequencing to 'change' plants and animals. There are a number of fish that are sold in our local pet store that are naturally bland looking, but that are brilliant beautiful red...after using dna from a deep water squid that is red. This is only one minor example. There are also a number of resistant strains of Tomatoes, Roses, and various veggies, that are due to dna re-sequencing.

Without a doubt and most probaby discover new ways to destroy life too.

I kind of touched upon this in another thread. It might even be necessarry for the survival of our species should some disease,( or anything else),. make us all sterile.

For a minute, I thought it said "senile" instead of "sterile", and I thought, "Hey, I resemble that remark!!"

LOL !!...hee hee !!...Probably prudent to clone everything else on the planet that is needed for our survival...who knows where the next diseases will come from and what they will do, not just to us..but to the things needed for our existence....fruit, veg.. Big Macs (well...maybe not the last one )
