I am fascinated by how our culture is quickly merging with technology because of the limited and fragile design of the human figure. There is an innate feeling in us that something could be made more effectively and as a species we not only want to advance ourselves, but the plants and animals around us.

We are no longer waiting for evolution’s clumsy approach to natural selection and now performing alterations to Life with revolutionary technology and crossbreeding genetics.

Science is using Synthetic Biology to speed up the process of advancement. We are taking life apart finding the strongest qualities that exist in plants, insects, reptilians, mammals and marine life. Do we have the ability to alter life in degree without possible harm to the original species or to human life in the distant future? Will any mistakes become traits of the altered species or will these alterations eventually destroy the living organism all together?
