    Oh sure, when some guy in a lab coat does it they get the Nobel prize. I try to combine a bear and a pig, and all of a sudden someone wants to make a Federal case out of it

    Like dog breeds, hybrid vegetables, racehorses, or any other myriad of plants and animals that we selectively alter the traits of?
