No.
Copyright notices are neither necessary nor sufficient to establish copyright. Your example also does not qualify for copyright because, frankly, it isn’t very creative.
If you manage to change the actual functioning of the organism, you can potentially get it protected with a patent. See Monsanto for examples. Human life, however, is considered somewhat sacrosanct by Catholics, liberals, and everyone in between. I believe there’s some UN treaty banning patents on human life.
- daly 5y agoWow, you're REALLY going to have to work on your punch line. Perhaps you could do something with a theme about how you didn't find the result "creative"? :-) Or requiring a GMO tattoo? This is an attempt at humor. Something of a technical nature taken to the absurd just to start the year off on a light note. You know, something funny like crisper-splicing in an image of a trophy that says "swimmer of the year". It's a kind of "easter egg" for future geneticists.
