Could it eradicate homosexuality?

Ohhhh, this has "the law of unintended consequences" written all over it. Didn't genetic engineering or some other manner of messing with God's Creation cause mad cow disease?

The first sentence that got truncated should read as follows:

"Scientists from the US and Japan have bred a dozen calves that don't have prions - the infectious proteins that cause mad cow disease....."

My apologies.

This'll be interesting. I wonder if the third world starvelings and/or the Luddites will enjoy their BSE beef as they avoid GMO, irradiated and cloned foodstuffs.

I note elsewhere that some are arguing to have cloned animals labeled GMO. How much more confusing can THEY try to make it?

Wonderful News.

Now, I wonder, will the elite allow the serfs to benefit?

A group of FReepers have downloaded Folding@Home from Stanford University to help advance the research into disease such as Alheimer's, cancer, diabetes and CJD.

Please feel free to pop over and catch up on the latest thread, and even download the program to run in the background. It is a very good distributed application with strong FReeper involvement. There are other FReeper DC project but I believe that this is the largest of them.

Believing that one can mess with Mother Nature has gotten us in a lot of trouble over the years. One example is Kudzu, imported from Japan in the '30's to control soil erosion. Now it threatens to blanket the South with inroads into the midwest. Different species of fish from South America and elsewhere are crowding native fish out. Snails from other countries are clogging up water filters, hence rivers. We didn't have sparrows til some idiot many years ago introduced the English sparrow, as a pet I guess.

Messing with Mother Nature can carry a high price. Environmentalists will be the death of many species with all their bleeding heart do-goodism.
