Frankensteins Katze: Wie Biotechnologen die Tiere der Zukunft schaffen
by Emily AnthesSchöne neue Tierwelt?Fluoreszierende Fische, die bei UV-Bestrahlung leuchten. Delfine mit künstlichen Flossen. Zu Robotern umfunktionierte Käfer, die vom Militär auf Spionagemissionen ausgesandt werden können. Innig geliebte Haustiere, die man mithilfe ihrer DNA wieder auferstehen lässt.Forscher in aller Welt sind bereits dabei, solche Wesen in die Welt zu setzen. Mancher Weg führt von der Petrischale geradewegs ins Zoogeschäft. Dieses Buch wagt einen – beunruhigenden, aber zugleich faszinierenden – Blick in die High-Tech-Menagerie der nahen Zukunft. Erfinden wir das Tierreich gerade neu? Zu welchem Zweck: um menschliche Launen oder Bedürfnisse zu befriedigen? Spielen wir uns in der Biotechnologie oder Technobiologie zum Schöpfer auf? Wenn sich Kühe gentechnisch so verändern ließen, dass sie keine Schmerzen mehr empfinden – könnten solche Tiere unser schlechtes Gewissen beim Fleischverzehr beruhigen?Die Wissenschaftsjournalistin Emily Anthes ist um die Welt gereist, um die Fauna der Zukunft kennenzulernen, vom schottischen Geburtsort des Klonschafes Dolly über die Forschungsstätten, in denen Lebewesen technisch aufgerüstet werden, bis zu einer „Pharm“ für Hühner, die bei der Krebsbekämpfung helfen sollen. Frankensteins Katze nimmt Sie mit auf eine Entdeckungsreise durch ein wundersames und oft bizarres Wissenschaftsgebiet – und stellt kritische Fragen.Emily Anthes berichtet von den verrückteren Seiten der Tier-Biotechnologie. NatureGeistreich und gut recherchiert. The New York TimesFaszinierend, scharf beobachtet und ein wenig beängstigend. New Scientist_____Schon seit Jahrhunderten verändern wir unsere tierischen Begleiter: Wir haben Hunde gezüchtet, die jagen oder Schafe hüten, Kühe mit verbesserter Milchleistung, Hauskatzen, die genau wie Tiger aussehen, und kleine Schweine, die in eine Handtasche passen. Aber jetzt hat eine neue Phase der Manipulation tierischer Organismen begonnen, in der uns die Wissenschaft einen immer vielfältigeren Werkzeugkasten für das „Basteln“ mit dem Leben bereitstellt. Emily Anthes führt uns in eine Welt zwischen Petrischale und Zoohandlung, zwischen Bauernhof und Militärlabor, in der Biotechnologen die Zukunft unserer pelzigen und gefiederten Freunde und unserer Nutztiere gestalten.Es gibt eine Katze, die grün leuchtet, wenn man sie mit UV-Licht bestrahlt. Den geliebten Familienlabrador lassen wir durch Klonen wieder auferstehen. In Tiefkühlzoos wird die Erbsubstanz zahlreicher seltener Tiere archiviert, schwer verletzte Tiere können mit Prothesen wieder ein fast normales Leben führen, Kühe, Schweine und Hühner werden mit Krankheitsresistenzen ausgestattet. Die Manipulationen gehen über die Biologie hinaus. Seehunde schwimmen mit eingepflanzten Sensoren durch die Meere, um Umweltbedingungen zu messen und Daten zu übermitteln, Ratten werden für militärische oder humanitäre Zwecke ferngesteuert, mit Roboterschaben soll im Unterricht neurobiologisches Wissen vermittelt werden.Anthes berichtet von Begegnungen mit Wissenschaftlern, Naturschützern, Ethikern und Unternehmern. Und sie stellt kritische Fragen: Welchen Nutzen haben die vorgenommenen Veränderungen? Soll alles, was möglich ist, auch getan werden? Welche Konsequenzen hat die neue Macht der Biotechnologie für unsere Tierwelt? Und was verraten uns die neu geschaffenen Kreaturen über uns selbst? Frankensteins Katze beleuchtet diesen abenteuerlichen Weg, auf dem Science Fiction-Vorstellungen zu Realität werden, und geht den Verheißungen und Gefahren dieser Entwicklungen nach.
