We entered seperately as kind of a game, searched around for some nice guys to switch into.

In a brief conversation I had with AI Copilot, I asked him to give me an international accepted definition of GMO (Genetically Modified Organisms), which it did as follows:

For a broader, internationally recognized definition,  the  European Food Safety Authority (EFSA)  defines GMOs as organisms (plants, animals,  bacteria, or fungi) whose genetic material has been  altered in a way that does not occur naturally through mating or natural recombination. This alteration is  achieved using modern biotechnology techniques,  allowing the transfer of individual genes between  organisms, even across different species.

I followed up Copilot's definition with a clarification request on the meaning of ANIMALS as to include humans. Here is what it said:

Technically, humans could be genetically modified,  but it's a highly  controversial and complex issue.  So far, ethical and legal constraints mean genetic  modifications in humans are rare and tightly  controlled, usually focusing on medical research to prevent or treat genetic disorders. The idea of  modifying humans beyond that opens a whole can of moral and societal concerns. Tricky territory!

The film industry has a fascination with this subject, which lends itself to a myriad of infinite scenarios out of this world. Specifically, mutations, cloning, or lab grown humans. This theme was highly explored in a great TV series called "Space: Above and Beyond" (1995) (IMdB 7'8). I've written about and produced this series in the INQUISITORIAL and anti-first-amendment anti-american YouTube platform before my blog was cancelled. The following vid is the first episode of the one season series:

However, following is a film you must see, which can give you an insight as to the topic of this discussion. The script, very Hollywood style, is as good as it gets, the acting could have been better, but over all, a good film which gets the point across.

The Island is a 2005 American science fiction action thriller film directed and co-produced by Michael Bay and written by Caspian Tredwell-Owen, Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci, from a story by Tredwell-Owen.

The film is about Lincoln Six Echo, who struggles to fit into the highly structured world in which he lives, isolated in a compound, and the series of events that unfold when he questions how truthful that world is. After Lincoln learns the compound inhabitants are clones used for organ harvesting as well as surrogates for wealthy people in the outside world, he attempts to escape with Jordan Two Delta (Johansson) and expose the illegal cloning movement.
