      Yes you can. have you heard about the scientists that took DNA out of one bacterium and put it into another type of bacterium (that had had its DNA removed) – and the DNA made that cell behave like bacterium no 1 – fantastic! they are not yet actually splicing different pieces of DNA to make designer animals yet – but it may only be a matter of time – how do you feel about that?
