Aquarium Advice Addict
The thing is that they were not created to be pretty. They were created to detect pollution in waterways. The science can also be used to detect cancer genes. I would say the comparison is more like the argument of stem cell research. It is actually a useful thing! These fish are just a bi-product. Just my opinion.........
That was true - until the pollution detection experiment failed. Now they are not used for that at all and just "made" and bred for home aquaria. Now, they really are being created to be 'pretty.'
