Building Lego ducks for my child I ran out of appropriate blocks. Desperate to complete the project, as any Lego mad scientist would do, I chose to opt for a hybrid animal.
Using pieces from the farm set, cow genes were combined with the existing duck, resulting in the transgenic (cow)duck.
But how far should one take playing God?
Is it ethical to create GMO Lego?
And are we warping our children’s imagination?
