Diversity

To me, the most memorable parts of the readings concerned human manipulation of DNA. It really makes you think, are these scientists going too far? Is it really their place to play God? It's troubling that some people are starting to "control DNA" to match their own desires. It kind of seems like they aren't satisfied with the way organisms are naturally, so they just take matters into their own hands without anyone asking them to... Although, a green bioluminescent rabbit is pretty awesome. Still, though, I think I agree with Paul's comment about humans being somewhat pretentious, when comparing ourselves to other organisms.
