Sprout wings and fly away

topic posted Tue, October 24, 2006 - 8:44 AM by  offlineSentience
While I am totally opposed to untested organisms being engineered large scale for our food supply, as I fear the environmental impacts of ferral GMO crops I do think that genetic engineering might we well served to help humans grow wings. I would totally sport the GMO wings if they could help me fly.

    Better find another planet! With 1 G of gravity and the density of Earth's atmosphere, the modifications to humans would have to be great. Air filled, light bones, a breast bone sticking out a half a meter in front and more. Girls, you'll have to decide where your breasts will go! Just to get our big brain aloft would take some doing.

    Of course, if we figure out how to control gravity, this could change.
