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 (http://www.reuters.com/article/2011…).
