    Chinese engineer "super beagles"

    If anybody is going to be the first to try it with humans, I give the edge to the Chinese (if they haven't done it already).

    "In a medical breakthrough that is as terrifying as it is extraordinary, scientists in China say they have created dogs that are twice as strong as they would be naturally, through genetic engineering."

    We already have them. They're called "pit bulls"

    When they engineer one that can pilot a biplane I'm naming it Snoopy...

    As much as there is a reason to fear genetically modified humans there is a reason to look forward to gene therapy to reverse Diabetes, Cancer, Allergies, and other maladies that effect humans.

    I don’t know man, messing with our genome has far reaching consequences. Modifying humans genetically? To me- as much as there is to gain from such tech, there is much more to fear, so much more.

    If ever a technology could be used and abused to enslave the masses- genetic modification and engineering is it.
    We interrupt this programme to bring you an important news bulletin: the suspect in the Happy Times All-Girl Glee Club slaying has fled the scene and has managed to elude the police. He is armed and dangerous, and has been spotted in the West Side area, armed with a meat cleaver in one hand and his genitals in the other...

    Maybe there is another motive. Dogs show up on the dinner plate in China.

    Super beagles? Guys aren't even trying.

    Russians got buys trying to create ape / human hybrid super soldiers over 100 years ago.

    Seems a waste of time and energy to be. An 80# German Shepherd is bad ass without genetic engineering.

    I think artificial breeding actually originated as some dude that was either a pillar of the community and/or could BS their way out of anything getting caught molesting animals and science was the excuse they spouted off.
