Thanks for your reply and question!

What would you say about a snipet of DNA that is excised from one cell and inserted into a viable, reproducing line of creatures, possibly of another order?

I would roughly equate that to taking a program off of my computer and putting it on yours. Both computers are still computers which operate - you just got a little extra software and perhaps can now do more or do things differently. Of course, if it were a computer virus it might also destroy your computer.

Is an anthrax spore alive?
