They're just not worth it.

Alright, sorry, I had to say that.

And 57% of people are on board with engineering animals to be organ donors for humans.

Apparently, they haven't heard about stem cells yet.

And a majority of respondents drew the line at tweaking animal to produce more nutritious

meat or bringing back animals from extinction, presumably because they all saw Jurassic Park.

And of that group, 18% said species are extinct for a reason, as in they deserved it, not

23% said it, quote, messes with nature or God's plan.

And 14% said it's a waste of resources.

And only 4% of people said they were afraid it would create a Jurassic Park scenario,
