judging from the replies here, i think evolution should be taught in schools to clear misconceptions and baseless accusations against the evolutionary theory.
but then again, it would meet so much resistance from certain parties that would make its implementation near impossible. and here they're still haggling over the use of english in science and maths.
is the theory of evolution being taught in any form in our schools or universities at present? during my time, it was hardly mentioned except when learning about classification of organisms during pre-u.
do you think evolution should be incorporated into our syllabus? Please give your thoughts in a civil manner. Thank you

QUOTE(SeaGates @ Jun 23 2009, 10:09 PM) Mutation is still bound by biological limitation. While it's possible to use cell from other animal and transplant into human. It's not likely that genes from other species will be mixed into human gene pool easily because body's natural immune system will reject the particular organ. cell or tissue transplantation does not involve mixing of genes between donor and recipient. but it is possible for genes or dna sequences from other organisms to be added into the human genome. for example our genome is riddled with dna from viruses (mostly non functioning), which were incorporated during viral infection. QUOTE Be a bit realistic on mutation though, mutation won't allow you to manipulate metal object, fire or ice  or shoot laser beams from your eyes
