We have been doing exactly that to every plant and
animal we raise for the last 5000+ years. This is just a new way to do the
old thing.
Think about it. Maize (Indian corn) is so
changed from its ancestors that it can't breed on by itself (the kernels are to
tightly stuck to the cob to disperse among other things), in fact the wild
ancestor was unknown until a few years ago. Look at dogs. Most toy
dog breeds are totally incapable of hunting (too small, bad teeth etc)
Domestic sheep, do not shed the wool (which originally was an undercoat), so if
not sheared die from infection in the dense wool, if not from stupidity.
There are no wild herds of domestic sheep.
As much as some would like, the Genie will not go
back into the bottle. This holds for all human discoveries.
