The Resilient Organism
This is what happens when you don't teach art or science in school.
I can just picture these 2 dudes smoking a joint in their dorm room, and watching "The Fly".

What a movie that was!
First of, this Art is not my cup of tea. But just for the sake of argument, and ethics and science aside: If you're into Shock Art ... it might serve a purpose (shock value, new way of thinking about a problem, try googling !NSFW!"giant poo sculptures prove 'contemporary art is not s***'" ), but using whatever DNA techniques to create a (Frankenstein) super-bug/ human is likely to add to the problem instead of solving it.
I'm older and not easily shocked by a couple of bloody pictures or a dystopian worldview and have seen weird Art. The last person to really try to create a super-race about 75 years earlier wasn't (to put it mildly) a really ethical person. Please study science, art, music and history. (Thanks to the internet a lot is free. See http://www.openculture.com/freeonlinecourses) Then think, express and make the world a better, happier, funny, place. Life is short!
