I just read this interesting piece about DNA engineering. I guess we will be able soon to create superhuman just like Spiderman... I think I am just going to save some money to buy this mod for myself.
"...And what might the practitioners of this emerging science do with such godlike capability? Within a decade, some hope to create bacteria able to mass-produce drugs that currently have to be painstakingly harvested from rare plants. Others talk about making viruses encased in protein sheaths that can be used to produce fabric with molecular circuitry woven into its warp and weft. In the more distant future, synthetic biologists envision building more complex organisms, like supercoral that sucks carbon out of the biosphere and puts it into building materials, or an acorn programmed to grow into an oak tree - complete with a nifty tree house. And there's the opportunity to add new chromosomes to the human genome, ushering in a panoply of human augmentations and enhancements…"
