China Heralds Year of the Fluorescent Green Pig

Apocalypse111 writes "Chinese scientists have successfully bred partially green fluorescent pigs which they hope will boost stem cell research. A research team at the Northeast Agricultural University in Harbin managed to breed three transgenic pigs by injecting fluorescent green protein into embryonic pigs. Xinhua quoted Professor Liu Zhonghua as saying. 'The mouth, trotters and tongue of the pigs are green under ultraviolet light'."

Re:Just what the world needs

The point is not to create green pigs, the point is to prove that we can do anything. But basicly green pigs is a relatively easy tasks when compared to creating a pig with wings and a genetic ability to learn to use them and fly. But in theory it is already possible, all we need to know is what genes we need to use and where to put them. That is difficult, but possible. The more we learn, the more we can do.
