By the way, I wonder what you think about genetic engineering and bio-engineering.

Mostly because of the note in your first line. They forbade genetic engineering of humans in the wake of Khan and his ilk, and the wars they fought in their belief in their innate superiority; it was expanded to all sapient species after Soong's experiment with augmenting Klingons.
I'm not really sure they were down on bioengineering in toto, though - there's no telling, because they could just make things with the replicators, so if they had bioengineered foodstuffs, you'd never know.

Actually Dr. Song doesn't experimented which Klingon augments, they stole his work after seeing Human augments in action, but the mess smoothing creating deadly pathogen that nearly kill entirely their species, during this time Dr. Song was in prison, he lost all hope for augmenting human species, he switched to cybernetic instead to create, artificial human being, which we knew as Mr. DATA

humanity couldn't avoid the great self-destruction in star trek either...

and if you include the alternative futures of a self-destroyed earth in the temporal cold war, and the xindi attack, as mentioned in "enterprise"...
i think the Star Trek condemnation of genetic engineering is valid and considering when it was made, was ahead of its time. it is the basic criticism that morality and ethics do not match the too rapid developments in genetic manipulation.
speaking of movies, a recent movie called "Splice" was pretty creepy because the premise is not so far fetched

I wish it would become true but it just doesn't look like it will happen (if at all) in our lifetimes... 
but that doesn't mean that some of the technologies won't become a reality. I mean sci-fi flicks were the first things to feature hand held communications and personall computers and here we are! with smart phones, i mean you never know what will happen

That was Noonien Soong, his grandson. Remember, ENT takes place in the mid-22nd century, about a hundred years before the original series, while TNG, with Data, takes place in the mid-24th, about a hundred years after Kirk & Co.

Data Grandpa:-)
It's one of my favorite episode of ST:ENT, mainly due Brent Spiner, who played DATA in TNG.
But when i watched the episode i noticed the Arik Soong is more similar to Data evil psycho brother Lore than to Data himself.
I'd also noticed that Data father Noonian Soong maybe named after Khan Singh because his middle name is Noonian, is quite funny it's like somebody named his children Adolf after "You-Know-Who"
