Evolution has created weird and wonderful creatures, now man can do the same. Science has allowed us to unlock the secrets of life itself, some believe we are at the verge of a terrible nightmare playing god. They are probably right, we have gone mad, or could genetic engineering be a force for good – to create world where nobody goes hungry, where our human bodies regenerate, this isn’t tomorrow’s world, it is happening now. What if you could never die or what if you could never get sick? We have all fantasised about the idea of having super powers.
