Mad
science
continues
with
the
recent
announcement
that
South
Korean
scientists
at
Seoul
National
University
(SNU)
have
successfully
cloned
a
genetically-engineered
(GE)
dog
that
they
say
glows
"fluorescent
green"
under
ultraviolet
light
when
fed
an
antibiotic
known
as
doxycycline.
And
just
why
did
scientists
feel
the
need
to
spend
the
equivalent
of
roughly
$3
million
on
this
gene-tampering
experiment?
To
allegedly
find
cures
for
human
diseases,
of
course,
which
is
the
only
explanation
that
even
begins
to
approach
justifying
such
insanity
(yet
miserably
fails).
The
announcement
comes
roughly
two
years
after
researchers
from
the
same
school
announced
that
they
had
created
GE
dogs
that
glowed
red,
and
which
they
claimed
were
"the
world's
first
transgenic
dogs."
In
that
instance,
researchers
deliberately
infected
the
GM
dogs
with
a
virus
that
implanted
fluorescent
genes
into
their
cell
nuclei.
These
nuclei
were
then
transferred
to
another
dog's
cells
whose
nuclei
had
been
removed,
and
the
resultant
cloned
embryo
implanted
into
a
surrogate
mother
Both
cases
of
animal
experimentation
are
truly
horrifying,
as
they
demonstrate
the
shockingly
boundless
possibilities
in
the
field
of
genetic
manipulation
that
are
possible
when
"curing
disease"
is
the
stated
goal.
Splice,
dice,
mix,
match,
insert,
inject
--
there
really
seems
to
be
no
area
that
is
off
limits
anymore
to
scientists
hellbent
on
controlling
the
entire
living
(and
non-living,
for
that
matter)
world.
"The
creation
of
Tegon
opens
new
horizons
since
the
gene
injected
to
make
the
dog
glow
can
be
substituted
with
genes
that
trigger
fatal
human
diseases,"
stated
Byeong-chun
to
the
Yonhap
news
agency,
concerning
his
team's
findings.
He
added
that
since
dogs
apparently
have
268
illnesses
in
common
with
humans,
creating
GMO
dogs
may
eventually
prove
beneficial
in
medicine.
So
there
you
have
it,
folks,
right
from
the
horse's
mouth.
Researchers
are
busy
injecting
genes
into
animals
so
that
they
can
eventually
inject
those
same
genes
into
humans.
The
day
is
coming
when
self-proclaimed
"experts"
will
tell
human
beings
that
they
need
to
undergo
genetic
manipulations
in
order
to
prevent
or
treat
disease
--
and
sadly
many
people
will
blindly
accept
this
as
truth
and
comply.
