Franken-Pig Ping!.....................
If they can do it to pigs they can do it to humans. Altered DNA anyone??
“Altered DNA anyone??”
Pfizer already did it.
The notion that modern technology cannot possibly contribute -- as well as demonstrably ruin -- to framing and ranching would be a conclusion some might aim for, but disease-resistant livestock and plants have been an aim long before gene-editing with technology.
What seems a bit humorous is that the "new" pig might in short order find Mother Nature chasing right behind with "new" maladies. What is certain is that this world does not stay the same, a fundamental error of the current climate madness ideology.
Put some AI in there so they are able to discuss the benefits of bacon.
Unless the AI starts “hallucinating” and they begin to think that two legs are better than four.
WHY?
Watch this 25,000lb pig aka, "Rampage II" where the bacon eats you!
Big Brother loves us and wants us to have more BBQ!....................
As long as Pfizer or Fauci are not involved, what could possibly go wrong? After all, science guys in laboratories should know more about how pigs work than farmers. Those guys are always in the muck.
Where is RFKJ on this horrific development???
OK then, all is forgiven! I'm gonna need a bigger smoker and skillet and grill. Will there be tax incentives for these upgrades?
Has the UK approved this for their own food supply?!?
sounds a bit like the Wuhan Virus ...
The difference between bacon and eggs?
The hen is just punching a clock. The pig is committed.
It’s going to be tough to eat a talking Arnold Ziffel: “Pleeze don’t eat me bro’!” Babe
I don't want indiscriminate gene editing, in any context. 'Altered DNA', as you put it, was in a general manner, responsible for Covid (viral RNA genome alteration via recombinant DNA technology to produce gain of function).
That said, it's important to set the record straight regarding 'altered DNA'. Your DNA, and mine, is being altered every day, mostly causing innocuous mutations that get corrected or don't lead to any significant consequence.
Alteration of DNA with gene editing, done responsibly and with great care, can save lives and/or markedly increase the quality of life. I saw a young sickle cell anemia patient recently, in with another sickle cell crisis. Horrible situation.
Anyway, sickle cell is a the result of a single base pair substitution in the hemoglobin B gene. One base pair, out of 444 causes sickle cell anemia. This is relatively easy to fix with gene editing (though avoiding off target changes and targeting enough of the right hemoglobin producing cells are issues that have to be considered). A genetic cure for sickle cell would be game changing for many unfortunate people who inherited this disease.
One big problem in general, as I see it, is that there are always 'glory seekers' (probably more now than previously) for whom scientific 'fame' is the ultimate goal. These are the people who don't credit the people who build the framework upon which their often incremental findings are based, and these are the people who will use technology indiscriminately in order to be 'the first' to do XY or Z. These types of people can be dangerous with current technologies, and it will only get worse as technology advances.
We need ethical people. Lot's of them. Now more than ever.
It might make for some delicious Calamari!
Oh, I’m SURE there will be no unintended consequences.
