Scientists in Taiwan say they have bred three pigs that glow in the dark.

They claim that while other researchers have bred partly fluorescent pigs, theirs are the only pigs in the world which are green through and through.

The pigs are transgenic, created by adding genetic material from jellyfish into a normal pig embryo.

The researchers hope the pigs will boost the island's stem cell research, as well as helping with the study of human disease.

pretty heavy stuff!

 

wow!

 

I gotta say it.....Who wants green eggs and ham?

 

 

I will not eat them with a fork
I will not them in Mu-Shu-Pork
I will not eat them in a hall
I will not eat them at the mall.
I will not eat them fixed as bacon
I will not eat them; nooo fakin'

I will not eat green pork and eggs
I will not eat them Mr. Funny-legs.

 

can they try to cure cancer or something instead of making my dinner glow in the dark?

 

Progress takes many forms...

 

All these years I've been having trouble finding my pigs in the dark. Finally someone has come up with an answer

I wonder if they're really glowing or they just glow under black light.

Also, I wonder if their poo glows too.

 

 

That is pretty interesting, I really hope they keep persuing stem cell research. I'm tired of all the religious crap getting in the way.
