YES, it kills germs too!!!

Now Gene-technology is more and more affecting our daily lives, Genetically manipulated food and animals. The glowing pig, the cloned sheep, the crop that does not fail easily and produces more then any other crop etc. Now until this usually ended with humans we have, until now at least. Humans always were considered taboo because...well lets face it we think that we are pretty special. Recently a new genetic development has reached its animal test phase...(other animals are more losable then human animals)...this new genetic technology is new skin. This new skin then would be transplanted onto burn victims which need new skin. Now the difference between this new skin and 'normal' human skin is that it kills bacterias more efficiently thus making infections less likely. Now this, if it works as promised, would make the recovery from heavy burn wounds a great deal easier for patient and staff.
But is it really that good of an idea to start with playing with human DNA?
