Genetic Engineering - A Clear and Present Danger (step 1: read article - step 2: view video)

While the future of genetic technology has both scientists and laypeople alike rubbing their hands in anticipation we must remain ever vigilant lest these applications fall into the wrong hands. In the not too distant future we may be confronted with a situation where a rich, egomaniacal celebrity, a Michael Jackson say, decides to perpetuate his DNA by having it implanted into another equally famous and like-minded megastar. Even though his career is on the skids his essence could get out on stage every night while he and his decaying face could remain in Neverland watching a live closed circuit feed.
No right thinking scientist would foist such a horrendous creature upon an unwitting world and yet there are those who, for the proper remuneration, would do just about anything. Narcissistic hybrids like the one seen above (a worst case scenario) may become the rule rather than the exception with all sorts of symbiotic deals worked out to boost sagging careers.
As George Bush once said: "Don't wish for stuff you want because if you do too hard you'll get it, you'll get the thing but it may not be what....you shouldn't wish."
