IMO it's crossing the line. I don't like it
Re: Brave new world of genetic editing for reptiles-
As long as the animals are cared for I don't see any fundamental difference from this and selective breeding.

I posted it as it's newsworthy, but I'm with you, honestly. Getting further & further from natural selection makes me uncomfortable.
There's so many GMO foods now, more than most of us realize...but the issues have been swept under the rug rather than openly addressed, & where profits are
involved, we know who's interest "matters" don't we?

We already have GloFish for that.
Not sure how they are made, but NOT natural.
Marketed to kids....meaning, the unfortunate fish are doomed. :(

This would be cool & something I was wondering too...it's just a real "double-edged sword" though.
