US greenlights GM Rice with human breast milk DNA embedded

[Eyebiter]

It's bad enough scientists are breaking the species barrier by putting human DNA into plants. But one designed for human consumption?

They probally would buy it....I wouldnt think they have an eew factor because they understand they are just giving the rice different protein coding DNA...protein from DNA that we know is edible....

Id eat genetically altered food in a heartbeat as long as it passed all saftey tests....

[Tricky]

Its pretty weird the things they are doing these days,i dont object to it all but all this chimera style stuff is creepy,who knows what kind of freaky things have been created in secret labs!

A genetic engineering to make cows produce more milk ; widely used in the US and not in Europe . They don't know the long term affects (on humans) of this , only in the short term causes health problems for the cows . The cost of this may be in the long run . :barf:

Yeah I so desperately wanted to be creating stuff in those secret labs.....

Thats why I got a Bachelors in biology because I wanted to pursue a doctorate in some specialization that would allow me to do "frankenstein" work.....*sigh*....
I slowly realized though those type of jobs where you decide what actually gets researched and created are like winning the lottery and usually the recipients of those positions have a lot of family in friends already in the field.

So now Im going to go back and get another bachelors in computer science.
damn life sucks!

Why is this rice making me so horny?

I live in Kansas so I am curious if it will be grown anywhere near me? The whole thing sounds a tad creepy.
