The first two kids have been born into an experimental herd of goats with a transplanted human gene in Belarus, the head of a Russian-Belarussian transgenic research project said on Monday.
Alexander Budevich who is also a staff member of the Belarussian Cattle Breeding Research Institute said the kids “do not show any signs of ailment or abnormal development. Yet scientists must still verify that the kids are transgenic,” Interfax news agency quoted him as saying.
Russian genetics experts will come to the Belarussian institute on Tuesday to take samples of skin from the kid’s ear for a gene test. The test will show whether the kids are transgenic, he said.
“The probability of the appearance of transgenic animals is very small. Only two or three transgenic kids may be born to 100 goats into which human genes were transplanted,” he said.
Last May, proteins of human origin were transferred into the goats’ DNA. Woman’s lactoferrin was brought into the DNA of over 100 animals from an experimental herd belonging to the Belarus institute."
mark my words genetic engineering is a mistake, the fact that science believes 95% of our DNA is 'junk' is cause enough to not let these control freaks anywhere near genetic material.
As if we evolved to this level of sophistication but 95% of our body was still 'junk'.
Its a highly arrogant attitude, i suggest this so called junk DNA is simply too complex for them to understand but they assume themselvs to be the kings of knowlege and so its the DNA thats wroing and not them :-P
I also believe that once you do the highly crude genetic engineering theyre doing here the creature begins producing proteines and amino acids and hormones that have never existed in that creature before...you spin a wheel of fortune in regards to the outcome.
The experimental method is all well and good when you're using inanimate chemicals...but once you begin experimenting with the fabric of life itself...something that is infinately more complex than we could ever understand, you open up a dangerous pandoras box.
Wht cant they just leave it alone? i get extremely frustrated in these people's persistance in trying to become masters of nature and in their insistence in medling in something so complex.
in the same way you wouldnt let a child mess about with the inside of a super computer...keep scientists away from your genes!
ive seen grotesque creatures half man half pig...what is the point of that?
animals have gotten where they have by an intricate and complex natural system of evolution and fine tuning by nature, if that werent so they wouldnt be as they are...you cant just slap bits of different creatures together, i dont know if there is a god or if were all one mind but if god does exist i know he'd be horrified at such a decimation of his creatures.
And for those of you saying 'well i support knowlege so im for this'...
let me get this strait, that is not knowlege of the world, that is simply medling in what is already there.
The same way subliminal messages and brainwashing aren't knowlege theye simply things invented by man that exploit whats already there.
Finding the existence of a subconscious is knowlege...creating ways to exploit it is simply abusing that knowlege for artifical man made purposes.
the same way here...knowing a genetic code exists is knowlege, alering it is not the persuit of knowlege its just messing with whats already there.
