I think I remember reading that Cooley's was working on gene
splicing. Arnold, you can think of it somewhat like organ transplants
from pigs to people. Sort of making a silk purse from the sow's ear.
However, once introduced into the iris gene pool, I think it would be
a transmittable trait through regular pollinating channels.
