VIDEO: Horrible Mistakes of Science! They Have Created MONSTERS!

We all know that science is the thing that helps us evolve and have better lives. The problem is that when they are trying to make diseases go away and find cure for all sorts of things, people test on animals and even try to modify them on purpose. Because of this some sort of horrible monsters have appeared and they are destroying some things in the real world.
According to treehugger.com, the promises of genetic engineering and genetically modified organisms have been touted for decades. Tinkering with DNA could yield new drugs to cure terrible diseases and other medical miracles for the human race, like limbs that regenerate. On the way down that road, however, there have been some wild, experimental examples of new creatures created in labs. Species hatched by innovation bring with them issues of ethics, environmental consequences and the good, old-fashioned cringe factor. For example, a goldfish that glows in the dark.
These worms are already nightmarish when it comes to destroying cotton crops. The United States Department of Agriculture has done field testing of a genetically engineered version of the bollworm designed to help control populations of the pest. That’s sparked concern from groups like The Center for Food Safety, who wonder what’s coming next. On the other hand, how does the use of a GE worm to control cotton losses square up with using pesticides or GE crops made by Monsanto?
A non-mutant pink bollworm is shown here. The GE worms are sterilized by radiation and imprinted with a florescent marker for easy tracking, according to Oxitec, the worm’s developer. Sterile insects help reduce populations of the worms, since sterile males compete with wild males for females.
Also called the “ryunkin” goldfish, this translucent swimmer was created by researchers at Mie and Nagoya universities in Japan. The see-through goldfish sports see-through skin that reveals a beating heart, brain and other internal organs. The idea was to eliminate the need for dissecting fish for lab experiments, a practice opposed by animal rights groups, as noted in a previous TreeHugger post.
This one may not immediately fit the headline, considering that no one would miss the mosquito (except maybe other bugs or creatures who consider them fine cuisine).
Oxitec, the same British biotech company involved with the GE bollworm, has created mosquitoes that are programmed for sudden, early death. The idea is to release quick-dying males to mate with wild females, passing on lethal genes that kill the young before they can reproduce, according to Wired News. The short-lived bugs could help control the spread of dengue fever and other diseases.
Imagine the opposite: A super mosquito designed to live longer. Hollywood script writers, take notice.
The Sudden Death mosquito is not without its critics:
“Releasing millions of genetically modified terminator mosquitoes into wild ecosystems amounts to a reckless and uncontrolled experiment with a risky technology,” Jim Thomas, of the ETC Group, a technology watchdog, told Wired.
What do the groups think about this mutant as a replacement for the razor, or computer simulations, we wonder? The researchers also hope to sell the fish to the public some day, perhaps for daddy-daughter fish anatomy lessons.
Japan also is home to the see-through frog, developed by the Institute for Amphibian Biology of Hiroshima University, with plans for public sales.
