What do you think about recombinant DNA?

<p>Do you think it should be controlled? Or do you think it should be left free to experimentation, irrespective of whether the resultant animals "suffer" or not?</p>

<p>(I'm talking about inserting genes from one animal into the genotype of another). For example, inserting some random gene from bacteria into a fish, or inserting some gene from a clownfish to a kea.</p>

<p>LOLOL every time this question came up my AP Bio teacher would say "now, I don't want to try and influence you, but just think about what happened in Jurassic Park" and then we would discuss the merits of the movie for the rest of the class. He actually showed it once too.</p>

<p>I agree with this. "Suffer" is a term that so few understand. Is there any concept of pain to jellyfish? We discussed this in AP Spanish a long time ago (yes, try explaining that jellyfish have only a net of nerves rather than a developed cerebrum in Spanish), and few seemed to get what I was saying.</p>
