Human genes used in goats

If genetic tampering hadn't gone too far already, it has now.

Now scientists are experimenting with altering goats by adding human genes to them. The goats are literally human-animal hybrids.

The experimenters suggest these genetically engineered goats may produce disease-fighting milk. But there's no proof this is so, and there's already so many risks associated with genetic engineering that the milk would likely cause more disease than it would cure. There's no question that there's a link between the rise of genetically modified foods and the increase in disease and poor health in humans, and it'll only get worse as long as there's no labeling of these frankenfoods.

The potential damage isn't just to the goats or to the humans or animals who consume the milk. If the part-human goats get into the wild, they may threaten species and cause erosion.

Goats are what they are for a reason. They're not ours to genetically tamper with. Goats should be respected.
