This is awesome.

Even if it ends up wiping out humanity or making the worst sci-fi dystopias come true, it'll be an awesome way to go.

I hope it wipes out humanity.

This is not good. The super humans will revolt against their creators.

Also, like, um, eugenics, anyone?

Genetic modification is not the same thing as eugenics.

I personally haven't had the chance to work on it (only a couple people in the lab so far have) but the purpose is create transgenic mice, mostly.

Cool science thing
