Dont know if its an early April fool, but just saw on telly a genetically altered dog that looks like a panda bear.
Its amazingly cute, and id love one, but surely its not right to mess with nature like this???Its one thing trying to alter genes to cure cancer or other diseasse , but engineering pets?

Well I guess all our pets and most of our farm animals are genetically engineered - certainly dogs and cats, probably horses and cattle -- possibly not too much tinkering with sheep and goats! The only real difference now is how we do it -- gene manipulation rather than by breeding...
I suppose the analogy is similar to the difference between organic and man-mangled ( why do men always seem to get the blame lol)
And we seem to have managed to introduce enough horrors simply by doing it nature's way -- dogs with faces so flat that they have a "natural" tendency to breathing problems, German Shepherd dogs who have inbred hip problems - the list is endless...
With pets I am fairly ambivalent -- they are unlikely to spread their genes into our "natural population" unlike the situation with crops - which I am rather against .. take your pick !!

I hear they have recently released a genetically improved panda back into the wild that can eath stuff other than bambooo shoots.
The experiement was going well until the other pandas turned on the newcomer and gave him a severe beating.
Tragic.
Mind u he seems to be doing ok.
He only has two black eyes.

Genes to make jellyfish glow in the dark have now been introduced into corn. The corn glows if it is distressed by decease. The corn can then be treated with chemicals.
The side effect of this is that corn forming ears just as they are infected lay down luminescent chemicals in the seed. This is in small quantities, but given enough flower made from this corn and it collects in the body. There strange thing is, in humans the chemicals collect in erectile tissue. It makes for some interesting nocturnal displays.
You did not believe that did you

No, but it made me chuckle!
