Now let us begin to build our master race of fullbacks.

I wonder if they could slip me a genetic Roofie and help me grow a porn dick?

They will have to be labeled as a GMO.
Countries will ban these people from entering their country and they should not get close to any Monarch butterfly.

We've been altering our genetic code since the caveman days, just in a slower manner. This is simply taking a shortcut. There's really no such thing as incompatibility. That's the beauty of the human body. It will simply adapt. There's no defined point where the human genetic makeup could change so much that it just wouldn't work anymore. That's just not how it works. It's actually more the opposite. The more diverse the genetic makeup, the better the odds of overall survival for the species. We don't really want our DNA to remain static. Life must change and adapt. This is simply giving it a little nudge.

The article makes it sound pretty Frankensteinish. But I'd disagree that the scientific community shuns it. I'd bet a considerable amount that this shit has been going on for decades with all kinds of species.

Those babies must have vast football knowledge.

Maybe we'll genetically modify humans that are intelligent enough to use genetic modification responsibly.

Well Bronco fans are proof that genetics might need a little help, so maybe this isn't so wrong after all..

EDIT: Ok I just checked it was 1988. And yes I know that OMNI was the trashy tabloid of science mags but what was great about it was they would publish ANYTHING and let you decide what had merit. You got tons of garbage but also tons of stuff that was ahead of its time. Oh and I was 13/14 in 1988 so don't judge me!

Cool old magazine. Bob "Penthouse" Guccione started it.

My prediction in the early 80's when I taught school becomes reality

If one of the moms was Jewish does that make the baby a Jew? Is that something that everyone could just slip in when this becomes popular?
