the ethics of GMO "bioluminescence animals" and humans?
Just saw this talk:
Paul Root Wolpe: It's time to question bio-engineering | Video on TED.com and it was fascinating and scary at the same time. You will see fish and mammals that glow in the dark, cats, mice and even monkeys. From the latter the step to humans is not far. But you will also see pigs that are bred to produce chemicals, animals that have been ripped of their free will and turned into computer controlled robots and brains taken out of animals to drive robots. The underlying technology is basically the same - bioengineering. The unansered but raised question of this talk is, what are the etical implications of using this kind of technology.

Only when we loose ourselves in the stories they have the power to control us. Our culture got lost in the wrong story, a story of death and defeat, of opression and control, of separation and competition. We need a new story!"
