I don't think it's right to mess with that kind of thing. They're already saying that man made bees could be the reson for the dramatic decline in natural bee colonies. If that's true, one of the first signs that maybe we shouldn't be messing around with genetic engineering could be disasterous on a global scale. No bees > no pollination > no new plant growth > no food > ...

I thought the question was about transgenic pets?

edit: As far as "playing God" with animals, didn't we do that a long time ago with selective breeding?
