Sure. As far as I know, nothing that they're able to create can actually be born yet, anyway. Or ever come anywhere close to that stage.

No not now, as far as we know. If it were possible though.

That's not nearly as scientifically productive!

Like, genetically creating bear people and the like? I have no clue about that one.

Aren't there only five nucleotides anyway.

Human, tree, flamingo, fungus, bacteria, it's all good, we've all got different permutations of essentially the *exact same* DNA, no?

Maybe bear people, if you want. I don't think creating an ewok is top of the list, but if they get G. Lucas backing maybe you're in luck. I was thinking more along the lines of super people. There are many things animals can do abilities, and strength, other senses etc. The obvious use might be for soldiers, but who knows.

MMM, I heard a lettuce has 47% the same DNA as humans.
