Nature versus science, transferring embryos or blame

In 1785, as legend has it, the Scottish poet Robert Burns was plowing his field when he overturned the nest of a field mouse, leaving it without shelter against the approaching winter. He composed a poem on the spot to lament the illusion of control we all possess when it comes to Mother Nature:But mouse-friend, you are not alonein proving foresight may be vain:the best-laid schemes of Mice and Mengo oft awry,and leave us only grief and pain,for promised joy!(from To a Mouse, trans. M.R. Burch)
