How scientific advances in genetic modification will fundamentally change the natural worldThe process of manipulating the genetic material of one animal to include the DNA of another creates a new transgenic organism. In Our Transgenic Future, Lisa Jean Moore wonders what such scientific advances portend. Several animals, notably goats, mice, sheep, and cattle are now genetically modified in this way.
After turning species into hybrids, can we ever get back to the original, or are they forever lost? Will the natural world become so modified that it ceases to exist? Does genetic manipulation make better lives possible, and if so, for whom?Moore centers the story on goats that have been engineered by the US military and civilian scientists using the DNA of spiders.
The goat's milk contains a spider-silk protein fiber; it can be spun into ultra-strong fabric
