When Mother Nature Strikes Back in Self-Defense - It's Not Easy or Pretty

Why the strange header? Because producing transgenetic fish is even dumber than trying to screw things up on land.

I suppose we do these dumb things for two reason - money and because we can. Neither of these reasons are very good and will do us more harm than not.

Can you imagine the "Oops, we're sorry. We did not anticipate the results of a spill from our GM fish lab into the Atlantic Current. It seems that all fish have been infected with a newly formed virus and that it may take years for the ocean to produce new life on its own. And, well - we have no idea on what impact this will have on other forms of life on the planet, including us. But the Mechanical Engineering Soceity said they will study making mechanical fish to compliment their failed idea about artificial trees to reduce CO in the atmosphere.

clipped from persianoad.wordpress.com Risks Involved With Transgenic Fish Fast growing transgenic fish can revolutionise commercial fish farming and relieve the pressure on overexploited fish stocks. But what happens in the natural environment if transgenic fish escape? Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have studied transgenic fish on behalf of the EU and are urging caution: “Until further notice transgenic fish should be bred in closed systems on land,” says Fredrik Sundström at the Department of Zoology, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
