Gene Modification is Good For Investors

Silk from goat milk. Doesn't that just sound wrong. If they can modify goats to produce silk, what could they modify humans to do? What if they could modify humans to never be depressed? Your children or parents die and it doesn't effect you at all. What if they could modify us to be always happy? You could be tortured in prison and enjoy it.

With each genetically modified thing comes the opportunity to create a new virus that can skip across species, just like AIDS did. The question truly is not if, it is when. However, there is a lot of money to be made in the meantime. The linked short promotional video below is from Fidelity Investments, it is less than three minutes.
