You are right and well, it's hard because we never knew about this stuff going on before now, so don't know exactly what they call it. It does seem that there are several ways to create. Again, they must have names for each and maybe more will leak out and find out what they are. Assuming that they have unlocked all sorts of knowledge, would guess possibilities are endless once the manipulation of DNA has been accomplished. That's when it begins to become a bit scary. Remember, Epstein's corporation in New York was centered upon the study of genes and it was said there was a full scale laboratory on the island which may be one of the reasons all those Nobel prize scientists went there to vacation. To think of the movie "Jurassic Park" where the scientists were overwhelmed about how it was done, but almost more so, why they would do it and called it "The rape of the natural world." This knowledge can be used for doing good, such as eliminating cancer genes, but then it moves to lets say manipulating the eye color or gender of a child to the parents wishes just because you can. Or eliminating mental retardation and genetic diseases. Cloning a persons organs just in case they might need something, like in the movie "The Island." At what point is a boundary put up that it is bioethical wrong to do it? There are plenty of high functioning individuals with all kinds inborn problems. Do they not exist anymore? Moving further across the boundary only leads to "A Brave New World." Yet, this is just what they appear to want. This knowledge being used for bad and down right evil things which makes for your statement about Frankenstein. Unleashing new knowledge leads to more new knowledge and more and more. What happens when the knowledge allows the splicing of a reptile and a human or a pig? Then start thinking about the Alien movies or Island of Dr. Morrow. Why would they do it, firstly, to see if it could be successfully done. After that what would doing it serve for them?
