YUMMY! GM "Nephilim Animals" Also Set To Be Served Up On Your Dinner Plate
The laboratory which created Dolly the sheep has produced a disease-resistant piglet using a new technique which is simpler than cloning. It is believed the development could bring GM meat a step closer. The piglet, known only as 'Pig 26', was created through a process called 'gene editing' at Edinburgh's Roslin Institute four months ago. It was engineered to have a gene making it immune to African swine fever which can kill European pigs within 24 hours of infection. The technique is faster and more efficient than existing methods, and also does not involve the use of antibiotic-resistance genes. One of the main arguments against the use of GM is based on the use of the genes which campaigners fear could lead to crucial drugs becoming ineffective. Scientists looking for ways to feed the ever growing population hope it could make genetic engineering of livestock more publicly acceptable, the Telegraph reports. The process works by snipping an animal's DNA and inserting new genetic material. Researchers say it copies a natural genetic...
