    The document discusses key vocabulary terms related to genetic manipulation and engineering of animals, including cloning, hybrid organisms, creating glow-in-the-dark traits, and developing "remote control" animals. It asks whether we should manipulate animal DNA to produce new drugs for humans and notes this raises implications for human evolution and possible short and long-term effects. Key terms defined include cloning, hybrids, glow-in-the-dark traits, remote control animals, autonomy, personality traits, endangered species, prosthetic arms, artificial genomes, and unprecedented power.
