Glow in the dark puppies cloned
 

South Korean scientists have used cloning techniques to create glow-in-the-dark dogs.
The four puppies look like typical beagles by day but glow red under ultraviolet light.
Their nails and abdomens, which have thin translucent skin, look red even to the naked eye.

Seoul National University professor Lee Byeong-chun, who headed the research team, said the technique of using fluorescent genes went beyond the novelty of glowing dogs.
He said: "What's significant in this work is not the dogs expressing red colours but that we planted genes into them.
"If we insert human disease-related genes in them, we can use them as great model to study diseases."

Scientists in the US, Japan and in Europe have previously cloned fluorescent mice and pigs, but this is the first time dogs with modified genes have been cloned successfully.

Professor Lee said his team took skin cells from a beagle, inserted a gene that produces a fluorescent red protein into them and put them into eggs before implanting them into the womb of a surrogate mother.

MSN News:dog:

Eww "we can use them as great model to study diseases" thats just a bit sick.

That is the Bleedin' Nation that Eats Dogs.
Like Evil China does
And they Fry Cats (once skinned)

I'm feeling a bit sick. eating Cats or Eating Dogs is.. :yuk:

why just cos its not the norm here doesnt mean its wrong people eat all sorts like horse crocodile kangaroo and so on but us as a nation frown on it cos its not what we eat plus in the uk people are so afraid to try anything even remotly new and outside their comfort zones

as for the story it doesnt suprise me tbh that this is where science is heading and a glow in the dark pup actually sounds kinda cute plus the bit about them being using for study diseases what would you rather they test on humans

I love cats and dogs and they are are cute so i'm not just afraid to try anything new i just find it sick and anyone who trys it are ****ing sickos,and yes i would rather they test on humans.

They showed them , On SkyNews weeks back,
Frying Cats
and Dogs in China.
The Old woman cooking felt nothing.
just like chucking a whole Chicken in a Deep Fryer.

Omg ew:yuk: that's the sickest thing ever

i love cats and dogs as much as the next person but i also love seeing little chicks and baby lambs doesnt stop it getting on my plate and into my belly while i havent tried if i had the chance i would and i bet if you didnt know any difference you could eat it if you were abroad apparently tastes like chicken

Thing this it tastes like chicken but its not chicken its some poor cat or dog that was kept it a poor condition.

have you not seen pics of battery hens or intentsively farmed pigs i'd bet the cat or dog was in a better condition than those

There Locked in small cage in Korea without Food water or space And the cages Look Filthy

Thats not normal

They all are in bad condition in that country, unlike the uk where most chicken and pigs are free to move about.

that pic just made me cry:bawling:

Ah lost for words pinkmichk?

no i'm not i went to the shop :hugesmile:
that to me doesnt look much different to battery hens where they live in seriously crowded spaces that are indoors and walk around in so much poo that they get burns on skin and often cant even walk cos of them

Andy as you know and I know
that is the way of Asia (Korea and China).
It is shocking but BBC News did not show it
only the best SkyNews gives us the best News worldwide.
