Anyone else think this is going to end up like 28 days later? Nope. It's progress Pin. If you were to look back at all the past improvements in food/seeding technology it would show we are moving forward, I hope. LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustyfox Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 With the world population getting bigger their is going to be less room foom for food. If we can clone pigs or whatever that can grow faster it will benifit not only the rich but the poor as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pin Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 I just think we never learn and muck with nature too much and we pay the price. I'm not religious at all and do appreciate progress, just don't think the US government give a **** about their general public - I wonder if the people making these creatures will be the first in the queue? Over time nature provides defences for all creatures against things that come along, if cloned stock takes off we will just end up with no bio-diversity for livestock and the animals will not inherit any natural defences via their genes. I just don't like the idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't like the idea. They probably don't Pin and we all know your not religious . But don't we muck around with nature everytime we are in the field?

pin Posted January 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Fair comment LB, we are not mucking about with genetics though If anything, given my shooting, I am educating Hertfordshire's pigeon population to stay away from certain farms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustyfox Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 cloning is the only way forward. Its gonna happen sooner or later. I would happily eat a cloned animal, there gonna taste the same. Why would nature allow us to develop brains big enough to have this technology if it wasnt supposed to happen?

wy111 Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 You've got to think that we've be eating bread made from genetically altered wheat for years, haven't seen many with 3 eyes up here, well not from the back one's anyway.
