As far as tinkering with DNA goes to make these bizarre things, that genie is out of the bottle. Human don't have a very good track record of ignoring knowledge and leaving well enough alone. Even if major scientific bodies decide that this sort of stuff is unethical, somebody somewhere in the world is going to do it. My bet is on China. They think eating tiger penises will make you powerful. They will make a chicken with teeth in a heartbeat if they want to. They will make dinosaurs if they want to.

Hell, even the US federal government just ruled last month that it's cool to feed genetically modified salmon to people without telling them what it is they are eating.
