Science Documentary hosted by Adam Rutherford, published by BBC broadcasted as part of BBC Horizon
series in 2012 - English narration


Information
------------------------------

Horizon: Playing God
Adam Rutherford meets a new creature created by American scientists, the spider-goat. It is part
goat, part spider, and its milk can be used to create artificial spider's web. It is part of a new
field of research, synthetic biology, with a radical aim: to break down nature into spare parts so
that we can rebuild it however we please. This technology is already being used to make bio-diesel
to power cars. Other researchers are looking at how we might, one day, control human emotions by
sending 'biological machines' into our brains.

If science followed the arbitrary "don't mess too much with nature" mentality then we'd still be in
the dark ages.

I agree we should not mess with nature.

Sure its ok to destroy nature, to make roads, build houses, airports, etc. And of course all that
pollution. But thats OK. God loves pollution!

But I draw the line a goat spiders!

The bible says, "Thee shall not maketh a goat spider!" (Psalm 2-47 Isaiah & Psalm 007 by Some
Ignorant Bastard))

Remember those 5 missing commandments? "I present to you these 15 [THUNK]... 10 commandments!".
According tho #14 it's OK to mess and mix genes, unless shellfish is involved.
Therefor, goat spider is all right!
