Wildlife: The Next Big Thing in Genetic Modification? Scientists have been talking about how to save species from extinction and about genetically modified organisms (GMOs) for a long time. Now, they are combining the two and talking about genetically modifying wild animals to help them survive changing environments. However, they note there could be dangers in doing this as well, such as disrupting the adaptations that animals have already developed to help them survive.
