Ha, I posted about TED on another forum a couple of weeks ago and was going to post something here, but forgot. I've seen the one about the brain in your gut. The one I was most impressed with (and I think, the first one I saw) was about how 'Schools kill creativity'. Bloody brilliant!!!

At TEDxPeachtree, bioethicist Paul Root Wolpe describes an astonishing series of recent bio-engineering experiments, from hybrid pets to mice that grow human ears. He asks: isn't it time to set some ground rules?

The talk is very thin on ethics but gives summary of how far we are with bio-engineering.
