Group Info and Rules
Objective: To introduce and educate the world about the beauty of genetics, biology, biochemistry etc. It is in genetic engineering many great advancements to benefit human kind will come, and we as a species mustn't cower in fear at the sound of it. Really, we are in a sense headed in either one of these two directions when it comes to future medical practices: genetic engineering or cybernetics. However, we must not head the route of the latter simply due to fear of genetic engineering.
Rules and Facts: Please do not spam the group with anti-genetic engineering hate. We will not tolerate flaming on the page, since it is not our intent. If you do not support this group's values for which ever reason, then I suggest you leave and start your own group away from us. 3 Submissions per day No porn or nudity in general Yes blood and gore is allowed, AS LONG AS it relates to this group in a relevant way. Blood is part of biology, after all. However, please no pointless splatter art, if it doesn't relate to biology or doesn't make an intelligent statement it will be denied. Mature filter is not necessary. Submissions are subject to vote So are join requests, but as long as you're not an enemy or blocked by any of us we'll allow you to join. Even though we do believe genetic engineering can be used to improve the human condition and help us live longer better lives, and genetic engineering is supported by Transhumanists, the admin of this group do not side with the movement. Why? Because of their will to turn humans into cyborgs, which in itself is inherently wrong as it'll cause more issues than solve. So no, we are not Transhumanists but in a sense our own "movement". One which is purely gene alteration. No we are not "luddites" (you would be ridiculous to think that). I definitely support the advancement of technology but there are limits. Augmenting the entire human race through the use of cybernetics is one of them.
Hi! I happened upon this group recently and I admit I was intrigued. I'll say right now, I love biology and genetics, but I'm a bit of a skeptic when it comes to genetically engineering humanity. Don't worry, I haven't come to hate. I'm just curious. I was wondering if you could explain to me a bit more about genetic engineering, and what your group's specific viewpoint on this topic is? Thanks!

Thank you for supporting genetic engineering but not transhumanism! Honestly, one has to know what they're doing when it comes to dealing with genes, and making an entirely different species from humanity itself is absurd!

I really like the way the group turned out. I love the spiraling DNA strand and Gadget getting his brains blown out What a beautiful sight to walk in on lol The avatar is also eye catching, all that blue. We have made the best group on deviantart. No questions asked.
