Scientists are now capable of creating new species of animals by taking genetic material from one, or more plants or animals and genetically engineering them into the genes of another animal. Please read article and then click-on "Detailed Discussion".

Our world's scientists will not be happy until they cripple our crops and drive every species into absolute extinction!!!

Luckily there are a few renegade scientists who are working diligently on the silent sidelines, in order to combat this insanity!!!

This article proves just how stupid modern scientists are. They have completely lost any touch with reality .
I mean they should engineer a biological plastic so that they could manufacture animals , body parts , babies , plants .....why not destroy the natural world .. if we have GE to replace every living being (sarcasm)

"Biotechnology is equally poised to transform factory farming with the creation of transgenic farm animals that are created to be non-sentient, without the ability to experience pleasure or feel pain. By removing the "stress" gene from livestock, genetic engineers may render animals non-sentient and thus outside the concern of much animal rights ideology."

I dont`think they can prevent animals from feeling pain just by removing the stress gene. Pain is far more complicated than just a gene . So I think this is just propaganda or a lie .

"endangered animal species can be cloned, thus helping wildlife management in its goals of preserving wild populations of the earth’s biological diversity, and by ensuring that endangered animals' genetic information will not be lost when the last of the species dies."

This is just a bandage , in order to preserve wild populations of the earths biological diversity , there are other measures than must be taken that dont involve GE.

"cloning would help support endangered species populations, at least in zoos and laboratories, with a greater genetic diversity and thus a more sustainable population for reintroduction into the wild."

This way of thinking is simplistic and reductionist.
Cloned animals tend to be more fragile and unhealthy than regular animals. If an animal goes extinct in the wild then what`s the use of cloning them just to have them in labs and zoos like an adorment . Also you can`t reintroduce an animal into the wild if it`s habitat has been complety lost.

Again and again scientists and corporations are trying to convince us that GE is the solution to all our environmental problems .
ABSOLUTELY IDIOTIC!!

Please read the book "brave new world", it is the worse case scenario of Hitlers plans of creating a perfect race!!! Don't kid yourselves, into believing that this could not happen to humanity as well!!! Animals are always the proving ground for humans, and it's the same with putting micro chips in them, looking for the flaws, for they will be ready for human assimilation!!!
Science, has been mimicking god and creation for years, but this subject proves that science is a war against creation, thriving to create everything in their image, for they can claim to be the creator, claim to be god almighty!!!
Once we allow animals to be patented, we have opened the gates of destruction that will also allow humans to be patented as well, owned by the corporate state!!!

In my opinion, they started this insanity well over 50 years ago. Infact, I believe they have gone to places in this research that we never should have gone. Noted and thank you

Hitler was backed and funded by Prescott Bush, and the secret sect of the Masons, called the Rosecutions!!! The fall of Germany, was as much of the plan as the destabilisation of Europe, in the first place!!! Hitler was but the face of this world wide legion of power!!!
The allies split up all of Germany's knowledge, and to this day, it still hasn't all been deciphered, and sorted!!! And if you know anything about post WWII history, you learned of all of the Nazi scientist, that were given amnesty, for their research of unwilling human victims!!! Dr. Frankenstein, is just a representation of Hitlers diabolical human experiments!!! Cloning was just on of the goals, of these replicators of nature, but all in all, their goal was to mimic god, in order to become gods, to become the creator of all living beings, by recreating them in their sterile image!!! Mans plants vs Gods plants/ manufacturing vs nature, a battle over the seeds of creation!!!
The Bushes have turned our garden paradise earth, from a Forrest, to a brier patch, and we freely handed our nation over to this beast of destruction!!! However it was God that put it in our heads to do so, for the separation of the wheat and weeds, and as soon as the last martyr falls, judgement day begins!!! The only question that remains to be answered is, are we a wheat or are we a weed??? For Harvest time is upon us!!!
