This is an interesting post and article. The notion of using "CRISPR gene-editing technology to genetically engineer pigs" seems along the same pathway as cross-breeding which farmers and ranchers have done over centuries, with the goal of "complimentary traits." Certainly cross pollination and outbreeding have also been done, albeit in happenstance manner over centuries.

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.

I used to work in agricultural research and always thought modern farms were like concentration camps for animals. No wonder diseases spread like wildfire.
