Scientists create the world's first glow-in-the-dark PIGS after injecting them with jellyfish DNA | |
| DREAM MERSHANT Offer Upgrade  User ID: 43045081  United States12/27/2013 03:31 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | •Scientists at South China Agricultural University in Guangdong Province say that the 10 piglets could help them develop cheaper drugs for humans •Same technique used to create glow-in-the-dark rabbits in Turkey earlier this year, where they are now working to produce fluorescent sheep Chinese scientists have created the world's first glow-in-the-dark pigs that emit a fluorescent green light. The piglets acquired their bizarre ability to glow under 'black' or UVA light after their embryos were injected with DNA from a jellyfish. Experts claim that the 10 young animals should live as long as any other pig and that the findings could help develop cheaper drugs for humans. Scroll down for video [link to www.dailymail.co.uk]  |

Those two words are important. It means that This can easily be used for other nefarious reasons, and probably will be. They ALWAYS use "for the good of humanity" or "To cure such and such" when really they would love to use all of this creepy genetic modification tech for weapons. mark my words, there are probably horrifying things going behind the scenes and they are giving us the "harmless info" to get us used to genetically modified animals. ~Deplorable Doom Husky~ DO NOT blame me for the actions of others :Bvglasses: Sharing is Caring! |

You must be referring to CAFO lots and the way they are raised; that has nothing to do with the animal which actually is not filthy. |

What's the point? Is there some need for it? I mean it makes no sense to put funding into something like this unless there was an absolute reason for it... Considering we all have access to sunlight I'd see this as a moot point... unless for some reason we start living underground in bunkers or no longer have access to sunlight... |

Just like when Monsatan said them testing GMO's for 3 months themselves and everything was fine and safe. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30805592 They did it to make the pigs easier to find as they float down the river at night. They can winch them in while it is dark that way, before they get to Shanghai and disturb the residents. *** It also makes a nice pork dish, so diners can spear the goodies out of the chow mein more easily in dimly lit Chinese restaurants. *********** WaterLily *********** " Do I dare Disturb the universe?" -- T.
