Millions Of Canadians Will Soon Be Eating Mouse/Pig Hybrids

This article fails because the author's reasoning comes down to this: We shouldn't eat clones/hybrids because God said not to.

Now, I am all for regulation, and I think the FDA needs to step up.

But I am not anti-GMO/clones/hybrids.

Why? Because these technologies *can* provide clear benefits to humanity and the environment. Yes, there are risks. I know GMOs can be and have been dangerous. I know Monsanto is totally ebils. But, I will not submit to fear. I am not going to give up on technologies that *can* resolve world hunger or reduce biological emissions (as in this example).

I'm starting to get the impression that many of those against such things are nothing more than purists. All food should be 'organic' and 'natural,' right? But nature is full of 'natural' mutations which result in things just as bizarre as what comes out of the lab. Evolution itself is the result of genetic mutation. What is so wrong with steering this in our direction, especially if no animals are harmed and it might actually prevent future animal exploitation?

With such technologies, we may even be able to bypass livestock altogether. Imagine if we could provide synthetic meat and never have to kill for food again.

Yes, these technologies should be regulated, but no, they should not be rejected altogether.

This article is disturbing. I dont want to eat mutated gene spliced animal meat. I'm already pissed off at not being able to buy vegetables and produce without wondering what the future will tell us about GMO's.

Is it current or is EVERYTHING going wrong in the world?

also, did they say pigs mixed with human genes? for sale as food? shouldn't everyone everywhere see that as extremely f**ked up?

do i have to buy my own live pigs to know what i'm eating?

but many millions will be celebrating, and realizing the gift they gave to the world during the Olymics. the canadians are awesome.

Wait, Canada? My country?!

Our government's been closed for a little while - due to our PM trying to avoid Afghan detainee details >_> - so I dunno if it'll be easier or harder to get this stuff into Canada...

But regardless of that, really?! Can Canada at least have the common courtesy to place a label on this evil thing so I can totally avoid it?

don't worry about me pumping you full of chemicals. its better for the environment this way.

So many stupid, stupid, stupid humans...

Ah yes, just call them ENVIRO-pigs and people will eat that shit up. Yeah, that's the ticket!

this is wrong on so many levels it is sickening...

all i can say is damn humans are a f$#@ed up lot...

mmmmmmmmmmmm, mouse-pig

What a bitch it will be to eat those tiny little ribs.

"MICKEY SOUSE"

How could an affront to nature be good for the environment?

pig humans?? seriously??

Probably not a popular opinion, but I'm all for altering our world in a effort to make it better as long as no one is harmed. Obviously the pigs are harmed, but that's a different ethical discussion. Also it isn't a Mouse/Pig hybrid.

Becoming Vegan is looking better everyday.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

dumb. they're not hybrids, read the article! this is called transgenetics... it's not making a hybrid it's simply awgmenting the pigs by adding mouse genes. why are people working on this sort of thing? maybe farming animals isn't really the gretest idea anyway?

We don't know what's in our food anyway's? We all have probably been eating for year's already! I worked at the meat packing factory, and if you eat hamburger or sausage, it's everything that goes into that meat, tail and and all, hoofs, the whole body in beef hamburger and Pork sausage, I see it for myself!

But is it safe for humans?

rofl... this is why i don't eat meat anymore... i wanna see pictures of the modifications... i also wanna see apig run around a maze for its cheese

I CAN HAZ MOUSE CHOPZ??

I question this.
Glow cats and fish exsist yes. And maybe even the spider goat thingys.

But human pigs do not exsist, and the article didn't convince me on how a mouse-pig is supposed to be envriomentally friendly.
I'm not convinced.

I will no longer eat pork. NEXT?

ewww. As if pigs weren't gross enough!!! They have to put mice in the mix to spice things up!! NOT COOL

Thats wild.

Mouse/pigs, spider/goats, WTF. Don't they realize, once you let the Gene out of the bottle, you can't put it back in.
