ninja_lord666 Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 And I'm just throwing this out there, but would lizard DNA work any better than Salamander DNA?No. A lizard isn't any more human than a salamander. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcus Wolfe Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Got it. Salamander and lizard genes are to human genes as Mac is to PC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marxist ßastard Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 You know, this whole fiasco has got me interested: were I to start a debate on nuclear power, how long do you think it would take before the thread turned entirely to cold fusion--powered watch batteries and the ethics of raising a clutch (clash? murder? destruction? implausibility?) of Godzillas?

evilkoal Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 from what i learned in school about genetic engineering, as long as the thing you want naturally occurs, then it can be integrated into another strand of DNA without trouble. I also learned that the honeycomb bone structure is much more durable because it has all of the things that our bones have, and it has more bone running through the middle, giving it more structural integrity.I have just been going off what i learned in school. but i guess school was wrong.

NewtC Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Or just live in a place where those traits would survive. Problem is, to have all of these things, someone would have to live in an extremely harsh and unpredictible environment, where those with those genes would survive and pass it on. I'm learning about it in Biology right now as it turns out. ((Plus more bone means less marrow, and less blood cells, and therefore less air.)) Don't make me increase those parentasese again Bob.

evilkoal Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 that is why i suggested bigger bones though :) so we would have more marrow. all of those were just ideas anyways. i was just wondering what people thought of genetic engineering, not what was possible with genetic engineering.

Marcus Wolfe Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Well, you certainly have no comprehension of the latter. :biggrin: Heheheheheh...........disowned. So what would you do with genetic alteration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilkoal Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 exactly why i need to go to college :) i'd make an army of super soldiers, brainwash them all to listen to my every command, and then take over the world. after that i would most likely destroy it.

His army loyally followed him. Now, they weren't biologically superior, but they did have the best weapons and best technologies, so, in a way, they were super soldiers. World domination never works; only Cthulhu can pull that one off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
