Congratulations, you fooled nearly everyone. Transgenic is a euphemism for 'genetically modified'. The benefits of GM are well known and well publicized. It's the risks that are ignored. Some of the risks are known and manageable (in theory). Even they aren't being managed. Some will happily destroy industries and economies to keep a snail darter from going extinct (though many thousands went extinct before man had anything to do with it). But they are willing to create and deploy a GM organism with the potential of making many species, including man, extinct.

Transgenic is like those old horror movies where they mixed two things together and got a totally new kind of creature. A part animal part robot would be a cyborg. For instance a part plant, part robot could run on the sun's energy and left over organic farm waste, but it would be biological and not through engineering.

there is no such thing as a beneficial transgenic organism.
