Bio-Engineering

"Why do you insist that the human genetic code is "sacred" or "taboo"? It is a chemical process and nothing more. For that matter -we- are chemical processes and nothing more. If you deny yourself a useful tool simply because it reminds you uncomfortably of your mortality, you have uselessly and pointlessly crippled yourself."

- Chairman Sheng-ji Yang, "Looking God in the Eye"

Bio-Engineering is a Build technology in Alpha Centauri.

Background
Gene Splicing (B3) and Neural Grafting (C4) exemplify crude and invasive iques for modifying an organism. The more refined Bio-engineering method arranges a desired genetic code directly from the component compounds, enabling widespread and economical cellular transplants for an entire population.
