A good use for this research would be to introduce the glowing gene into wild animals. That way we can all see Flower and Thumper before they become road pizza!

but thier predators would be easy to see them, too.
like the poster said above, i do think that no matter what we do, nature will always win even tho we are destroying it. She will always have her ways...She has billions of years of practice ahead of us!
I do believe that even with human's presence, nature will recover(wipe the humans out????)
If you don't like them, don't buy them. Their going to be sold anyway. I think the idea is neat, but I personally won't buy them as I prefer to have a realistic look to my tanks and fish. As for my position on the research I summed that up nicely in the other thread .
As for GM foods I simply don't understand this fear of it. We're afraid people are messing with the very nature of our food. Well where the hell do you think you're food came from in the first place? Do you think Corn originally started out in nature as foot long cobbs? Hell no, it was bred over 10's or 100's of thousands of years for increasingly larger sizes. Wheat, barley, all the major foods you take for granted have all been massively transformed by human intervention, for larger size and increased hardiness. This happens naturally without our intervention, but when we intervene its just different charateristics that propagate that are beneficial to us. GM foods merely marks an increase of technology where we can more fundamentally and more quickly modify these foods for different environments and conditions. Its irresposnible for us to complain about it, when most of these advancements do much more to help poorer nations. Its easy to be picky when you're not starving so they say. An apple may no longer be an apple after we modify it. Well it was something else before an apple 100,000 years ago before we started messing with it, so what difference does it make? Call it a yapple, as long as its nutricious.

i agree with hippoz. But when humans started to modify food, esp the grain ones, they have also created a problem. They made refined sugar, refined gran products which contributes to todays diabetes epidemic in developed nations.
Anyways, im not against gene technology, so long as it is studied closely, and its short term and long term effects are known, but still we are only humans...
