Paul Wolpe explains that for the first time in history scientists can directly design organisms, then asks the question, "Do we get to create organic robots where we remove the autonomy of the animals and turn them into our play thing?" What are your thoughts on this? Tremendousprogress, or bad idea? Explain.
2. Do you believe there should be any non-negotiable guidelines with regard to bioengineering animals? If no, why not? If yes, what is one non-negotiable standard you believe is warranted?
