The Creepy Science Behind Genetically Engineered "Frankenfish"
• Alternet.orgA closer look at AquAdvantage makes it seem unlikely that Mary Shelley could have ever dreamed up anything as wild as the fast growing GE salmon. Even more worrisome is the science used to justify the salmon's safety...




Science is creepy now?
On which altar do I have to sacrifice the chicken to cleanse my spirit of this knowledge?
I don't understand how the picture you used relates to the genetic modification of fish. I understand the "franken-organism" relevance, however a picture of a stitched together human hardly relates to genetic modification. Mary Shelley's story had to do with the creation of a creature from spare parts scavenged from corpses, not genetic modification of a living human to generate some amount of benefit. The picture is creepy and evokes a sense of fear or disgust in one, perhaps, but that's hardly a good reason to use it. I would've much preferred to see a picture of one of the antagonists in the movie "Frankenfish" over this poor girl. I imagine she would, too.
