How about the notion of eating french french-fried potatoes from a potato engineered with jellyfish genes to off the beaten track(predicate)m its leaves bioluminescent? We should consider our responses to both issues now, before reality comes knocking at the door. Several groups have denote intentions to clone humans, and the bioluminescence gene has already been successfully incorporated into potato plants.   If those prospects make you squirm, youre not alone. The publics emotional response to the issues of human copy and biotechnology far outstrips its response to global warming and widespread species extinction. When Dolly the sheep was first cloned by Scottish scientists, political leaders around the world sensed the forbid reactions among their constituents and moved to pass legislation banning the new technology in humans. Any new developments in the area stir up newly controversy, such that the cloning issue is frequently featured on the drift page of major newspapers.
