Scientists predict strong thirst for 'human milk'
Genetically modified (GM) dairy products that are similar to human milk will appear on the Chinese market in two years, an expert in biotechnology has predicted.
Li Ning, a scientist from the Chinese Academy of Engineering and director of the State Key Laboratories for AgroBiotechnology at China Agricultural University, said progress in the field is well under way.
Li said Chinese scientists have successfully created a herd of more than 200 cows that is capable of producing milk that contains the characteristics of human milk.
He said the technology is at the cutting edge worldwide and will ensure "healthy protein contained in human milk is affordable for ordinary consumers".

I like milk from cows just the way it is, thank you, but no thanks..............
Maybe it’s just me but are there masses of people really desiring human milk? If so, I’ve got to get out more!
Wake me up when they make milk genetically modified to be 6.8% alcohol....
Actually that’s a good question.
I actually have no idea what human milk tastes like... I was fed from a bottle... what IF it tastes MUCH better? How would you know if you didn’t remember what it tasted like from childhood?
BTW, Tiger doesn’t like Rooster. Tiger Woods has proven he likes turkeys, the female variety, in abundance....
Ick.
I’m picturing a cow sporting some Pam-Anderson size winnebagos. Wish I had the photoshop knowledge.
Well, as a married man who wife breastfed six kids..., trust me, cow's milk is tastier.If you want to taste breast milk then you can always try Baby Gaga, the world's first ice cream made from breast milk....
But then the Chinese find out that melamine producing cows are cheaper.
So, you are the type to say, “Don’t knock it if you don’t try it?” No thanks. You first and then report back (LOL). Human milk is for babies. Other than that, I feel it gets into a weird, cannibalism area IMHO. My hypothetical question back to you: what if human flesh tastes really, really good. I mean it tastes MUCH better than beef, pork or chicken. What would ya’ do?!
They sell it in cheese form here
Are you serious? Cheese in a grocery store? Does it have a certain name or labeling of some form? Yuck!
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!
They misunderstand - It's the acquisition of the milk, not the milk itself.
I dunno.....
.....probably order a nice Chianti.
I hear human meat has a sweet taste to it. Perhaps we should genetically modify the cows to give human meat as well.
LOL! Don’t forget the fava beans. You need your vegetables too!
I don’t care for the milk so much but I absolutely love the cute containers it comes in.
Splice that human milk gene into goats and sheep - the Moslim World will line up and pay dearly for such animals.
Got to stop now due to overstimulated gag reflex.
