    It is happening, unpublished, and it will continue to happen. Mistakes will happen and monsters will be born. But it's a part of being human, a natural progression from being able to adapt the environment to serve us, to adapting life itself to further serve us.

    If it can be dreamed by a human mind, and it's scientifically possible, it will happen.

    Or maybe just a child without a birth defect.

    Probably both and much more.

    I've thought that the 20th century was, to a large degree, the century of electronics. The 21st will be the century of biology as we master the ability to manage our DNA.

    This kind of reminds me of the Clone Army in Star Wars Episode 2.
