Chickens genetically modified to fight cancer.
--

Well, I guess if I needed cancer treatment and could not afford it,
I'd be in favor of this. But, I'd know that the large corporations
that produce these drugs need to stay profitable and if the bottom
falls out of the cancer drug market, they will need to find another
way to stay profitable.

I wonder what the introduced gene is?

In general, this news does not stray from other genetic engineering.
Man has this need to change his environment. The problem is that
generally our changes to not have the forsight to fully anticipate the
results of these changes.
