Researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School have published results of
an experiment showing how genetically engineered mice made their own omega-3 fatty acids, the
equivalent of heart-friendly fish oils. The study offers a controversial suggestion that healthier
eggs, milk and meat could be obtained through genetic modification of farm animals.

Perhaps we could engineer humans to make their own darn omega-3's, and vitamin C while we're at it.

mad cow and isn't a result of the effects of genetic manipulation?
This is Darwinism in action.

How un-American of you. The middle man is where all the corporate profits are. ;}

To the best of my knowledge, we *were* able to produce our own vitamin C, like almost all other
animals, at an early stage of evolution, but we lost the ability.

Don't know, have visited the school labs at night.

No, just stupid greed. Feeding cows sheep byproducts and saying it is OK because cows don't get
scrappy is sort of stupid when there is evidence all over of cross species mutations going on all
the time - swine flus and bird flus for example.

Who's to say that trolls like you aren't a result of genetic manipulation. An insane, failed
experiment, obviously.

Where xactly did you study to be a molecular-level genticist?
There's isn't nearly enough information to determine what actually started it, or how it's likely to
be spread, or a few dozen other important questions that have yet to be answered with solid facts.
There is practically no way to deterine that any disease wasn't the result of some sort of genetic
manipulation.
