This poses an interesting question on what happens when we are
genetically engineering :) Because then in fact it *is* a work made by
humans (or at least adapted, just like a cut wooden tree, a carved
stone tablet etc), and in some cases even artictic somehow (think of
the glowing fish). Anyway, not that it is very relevant, but an
intriguing mindgame :)
