IMO genetic engineering is like any other discipline in science, it has the potential for both good and bad, just depends on how people use it.

nuclear technology can power a city or flatten it.
biotech can cure disease or create one.
clorox and windex can clean your house, or gas people.

It will be interesting to see where this goes, or how far the gov't lets them go. I would expect it to take as big a bashing as stem cell research did here, maybe even more so considering that people being genetically bred with sheep lol.

Interesting.I'm not sure how far this will go though,it does have the potential to be benefical for so many people but then there are so many ethical issues that could acssociated with it as well.
