Lets not forget though that "the strong" can mean completely different things given two different scenarios. In an environment that is in a quasi-equilibrium, changing said balance can make weaker animals seem stronger, because by accident, they are better adjusted "from-the-get-go" to the new environment and survive. I think the most prominent example is the dying out of the dinosaurs, which dominated the animals world for 10s of millions of years, before the environment changed completely.

For anyone wanting to know it is the spider goat that produces bio steel which is basically goat milk mixed with spider silk

please, where i can find the full report ? regards

I saw the title and what was my first thought?BLUEBELL. Sherlock you're melting my brain!

@jeremyfinch I'm not talking about who started cloning - I'm talking about having the ability to clone a large mammal, which did not exist 40 years ago, except as theory. As for who started the study of genetics, the German monk Mendel started it in the 1800s, so it's hardly new, regardless. Again - which part of the clip shown 'besmirches' the USA?

@TheSevanthNinja I think that it was the sheep in the final shot

I've lived in utah, and that aint the only mutated species of that state.

@JeremyFinch , but as for the internet it was more than (Donald Watts Davies, CBE FRS[1] (7 June 1924 - 28 May 2000) was a Welsh computer scientist who was one of the inventors of packet switching computer networking, and originator of the term.)and for a geography lesson that's Wales(England) also was a colaboration of other schools and military that completed what we all call the internet but as I'm in my 40's I was around and using (Packet)on a dumb Terminal or serial RS -232 connection

As it was in the days of Noah...judgement is coming...

I bet it's the spider goat

@PoisonedAl you obviously havent seen Terminator 1 or 2. The US got its technology from the future. Your argument is invalid.

@Hogmagandy The title, obviously. And if they fail to expand upon that title in the piece as it airs, then that says a lot.

@JeremyFinch Hughharris1996 is correct and BTW I'm American born and bred by English and Swedish settlers to America here is excerpt from article In 1837, Charles Babbage, a British professor of mathematics described his idea for the Analytical Engine, the first stored-program mechanical computer. The Analytical Engine was designed to be powered by a steam engine and was to use Punched Cards, which was used to program mechanical looms at the time.

It's common here In our place

Hmm...Well. That was not what I was expecting from this video.

@PoisonedAl I have to call you on your last point. I agree with all that you have said besides your final point. Apple doesn't steal products. They take a product that is already on the market and design it in such a way that the domestic market would appreciate that piece of tech. For example I think Microsoft first designed the tablet for the courier market. However they failed to realise that the domestic market was crying out for such a device. (I'm Irish, not American)

@ColomboNinja Well, because we are doing what God supposedly did. But mainly it's just so it catches the eye in newspapers

@jeremyfinch This TV series did not just focus on American science, so the title is not aimed specifically at Americans or the USA. Perhaps the term 'playing God' is offensive in the USA, but it most definitely isn't in the UK. It's a widely used term and not used to cause offence. Seems to me that your dislike of this comes from a cultural difference, or your own prejudices which assume that the BBC is anti-American by default.

How about goats that milks gold and silver instead

How horrible Dr. Frankinsanders.Col, Sir.

@jeremyfinch Why would you laugh at the notion of this invention coming out of the UK? The UK is at the forefront of genetic engineering, with the first ever cloned animal having been cloned in Edinburgh, Scotland.

I wanted to see this animal dammit!

@jeremyfinch So... let me get this straight - the BBC commission a series to be shown to a UK audience, just to besmirch the USA? Wouldn't that effect their overseas sales to America? Wouldn't that effect viewer ratings on the BBC America network? Your comments have nothing to do with the reportage shown in the clip, but are entirely centred on the title of the series. If you were to watch the series, or view other clips, you'd see that it does not focus on American science.

Horrible user comments and arguments. Enjoy the upload and have meaningful discussion.

Not in the sense like, "OMFG, we're so amazing, how can people hate us", but appalling as in, "Wow, people make unfounded claims about Americans that are a far cry from the truth, and it's concerning because of what might happen as a result"

@jeremyfinch If it had already been achievable 40 years previously, why did no one do it? Were they all just sitting around thinking 'you know what, we could do it, but we'll let some Scottish scientists do it in 40 years instead. The technology to clone a mammal did not exist 40 years ago. Secondly, which part of this clip frowns on the technology? Is it the title in particular that offends? 'Playing god' is an old term, and is now used generally to describe 'meddling' with nature.

@JeremyFinch serial RS -232 connections which we would send information from the terminal into a ham radio to another ham operator with same type of terminal and the message was received on the other users screen well before the internet, AOL and any other modern system that people today would even recognise and for my final lesson what language am I speaking ? that's Right ENGLISH good day mates

@jeremyfinch Like I said, the programme was produced for a UK audience. You're the one stating that the BBC is bigoted against Americans, and indeed, Christians. Also, with Christianity still being the main religion in the UK, and with our head of state, Elizabeth II, being the head of the Church of England, saying that the UK is "Godless" is a statement made from ignorance - the same ignorance that's fuelling your anti-BBC rant.

FRANKIN FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O.O

and by the way...if you wanna talk about "nature" which WE HUMANS are part of...and as Humans we like to explore and go deeper and learning more and creating things...isn't that natural? so don't give me this bullshit argument about the "balance of nature" we are part of it...so our oddly behavior is normal...whatever happens happens....whether we destroy our planet or us...it doesn't matter....it would just play out like nature would want...the weak dies off...the strong move on and evolve

@Hogmagandy coz he's a scientific illiterate from the bible belt. come across him before.

@mrevilevil2 I. CANNOT. STOP. LAUGHING! "The UK is at the forefront of science." ahahahahahahahah......HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah, you're right up there with Canada, France, and Mexico.

It's disappointing that a BBC programme as good and scientific as Horizon brings the word God into science.

WildPhotoShooter It's just a saying; a figure of speech. God is often used in figurative expressions. For example, the phrase "an act of God" - something insurance companies cite as an exclusion. Or, "in the lap of the gods" which means "whatever happens, we can't do anything about it". "Playing God" is basically meddling with nature.
