Too far?













Scientists have been making technological leaps. They've made transgenic goats and glow in the dark cats, but is this crossing the line with human nature? These are Turkish Angora cats from South Korea that glow under UV lights. Biology Online states th
at transgenic animals have, " 'genes from another organism put into its genome' which use, 'DNA techniques." The drug ATryn has recently been put in certain milks to help thin blood, "Scientists have genetically modified goats to produce this drug in their milk." This drug can be used to help people with blood clots. The cloned sheep, Dolly, is the more controversial topic, as to whether or not this is out of hand.
