ChemistryChemistry In FocusThe Molecular Revolution box “Engineering Animals to Do Chemistry” describes a pig whose genes have been modified to contain human genetic material. Some have criticized the genetic engineering of animals, accusing geneticists of trying to play God. What do you think? Should we tinker with an animal’s genetic makeup if the potential outcome is the saving of human lives and a reduction of human suffering? Why or why not?
