Sorry, I meant 'structures of cells' that are implanted in people. As the video mentions, implanted glow-in-the-dark-cells can be tracked without the need for biopsies, etc. This can be useful for stem cell research, tracking the spread of tumors and forms of cancer, as well as many other things, I'd imagine.

As for being too 'tampering' - I respectfully disagree. IMO: These pigs are research animals, born and bread for the purpose of helping better understand medicines that will save human lives. If making them glow neon green furthers that goal, while not causing them to suffer, I don't have an issue with it.

But more importantly... this puts me one step closer to a flying monkey! Today they are injecting the DNA of jellyfish to make pigs glow, tomorrow they are injecting the DNA of eagles for my monkey.


Soon my pet, soon!
