Glowing Green Piglets

[Dark SpOOn Bender]

I didn't see anything about that.

The pair of cats cloned from a mother's altered skin cell are nearly a year old. The researchers told the AFP that their work could help unravel mysteries of some 250 genetic diseases suffered by both humans and cats. The findings also could be used to clone endangered tigers, leopards, and other animals, the report said.

What one of the paragraphs stated in first post of the cat thread. Meh, who really knows though.

But it would be cool if one day they made all the pokemon for real[/QUOTE]
thats kinda off topic since no pokemon glow -.-

and since they're transplanting glowing green organs doesn't that mean humans would glow too?? O.O

and no offense animal lovers but i laughed at the fact that pigs could glor green

 

[facetious]

Please just die already.

they're transplanting glowing green organs

Pay attention to the OP please. The quote said "a development that could lead to the future breeding of pigs for human transplant organs", it mentioned nothing which implied the organs would be green (lol).

Also having green organs doesn't mean you'll suddenly become the colour of the Incredible Hulk.

The laws of nature say that pigs don't glow, don't they?

EDIT: Beaten.



They probably could, eventually, make pigs with wings. All they have to do is figure out how to make the pigs lighter.

Well, try creating creatures that can breathe fire, possess humans, shoot icy beams from their mouth, etc.

Hmm, flying pigs will be hard to create.

So, this is how pokemon came to be....
Scientists fiddling around with genes....

 

[blackrose]

the glowing cloning thing has been done with mice and cats awsell.

I don't really care if its a bit cruel to animals if it end up saving human lives. A pig is a non-sapient, non-sentient animal that just happens to have a very similar metabolism to humans. A human needing an organ donation, by contrast, has emotions, is sapient and sentient, has loved ones to grieve for them, a conscious life full of memories to leave behind.

This is a lot more useful than a cat that glows at a certain wavelength.

And how will it save human lives?

By giving us a glowing heart so we can survive in dark caves?

They just have too much money to spend.

Ahem, you have misread the point of it. The test confirmed that the glowing pig's offspring shared its parents' green shine. It will open the door to further use of growing organs for transplant within pigs.

This is... err... interesting. I'd like to see some pictures though.

 

[nubinator]

this is a funny thread guys

who really gives a **** about glowing pigs?

 

[grapefruit]

What are we talking about, again?

 

[Rave]

What are we talking about, again?

Its about another dumb topic, in another dumb thread, from another dumb user named MistyLover.

Stole the words right out of my mouth.

Lets talk about more important things, like Pokemon and YuGiHo.

 

[The_Panda]

Of course if any of you would have bothered to have read the significance of the glowing pig, perhaps you might have another idea.

 

[MidnightTheMightyena]

Oh no, more genetic dabbling, What is the world coming to? ;262;

 

[Slayer]

thats just kind of weird

 

[Conquistador]

I smell Green Eggs and Ham soon fellas.

Forget food dye, this is way cooler.

Perhaps, but other different genetic traits being passed on is still "50:50" if you understand what I mean.

These genes are different to those which would be needed for organs, and so we wont really know if other genes, which are more like those of organs, are passed down until we try it.

It does prove that genes in general can be passed, however, lol.

My thread title about a glowing random animal was much more alluring.
