Since the birth of civilisation, human beings have manipulated other life-forms.We have selectively bred plants and animals for thousands of years to maximise agricultural production and cater to our taste in pets. The ability to directly engineer the genomes of organisms first became possible in the 1970s, when the gene for human insulin was introduced into bacteria to produce this protein for diabetics. The observation of the creation of artificial animal and plant variants was a key stimulant for Charles Darwin's theory of evolution.
But these were only our first tottering steps into the possibilities of genetic engineering.In the past few years, the pace of progress has accelerated enormously. At the same time, mice were modified to produce human growth hormone, and grew huge as a result. We can now cut and paste genes using molecular scissors with
