Re: Glow in the dark Banana
From what I have gathered with this certain gene it is found in sea creatures and is often eated with no side effects squid fish and other sea creatures have this exact gene.
The more I have heard about gene manipulation the more amazing and frightening somethings can be. Their is a new term called genetic pollution and this is were a undisired gene is introduced and then replicates itself. Much different than chemical pollution were with time it will delute, genetic pollution can multiply.
Another scary idea is drugs that can change your genes now from my understanding they have used viruses like HIV to carry genes into a animal the genes with then showup as it spreads the gene with the virus. The idea is to get a non invasive virus and add the desired genes to it and then able to trasefer them into a mature person or animal. My thinking is could this gene then be transfered with a kiss or with blood? The reality could be very scary in someways. Their are very few laws or guidlines about it now hopefully this will change.
On another note if one is looking to become a superhero they have 6 mice that have been genetically altered
1 has super strength gene taken away myostatin blocker
2 super smart photographic memory
3 super eye sight
4 super fast
5 super agile
6 able to heal faster. I am not sure if this is with the Flatworm Gene which I have heard of work being used were you could possibly regrow a arm if it were cut off?
From what I have heard all of these genes could easily be put into a human.
Their was one other which was research on antiaging. I have not heard much on it is a few years but it looked very possible at the time.
