Greed driving plant science
A Fiat shares a lot of physical characteristics with a Lamborgini.
You don't care, I say that there is some difference. Humans share lots of genes with the mouse. We share ~99% of the genes. However, religious and ethical believes of many people might tell them that is not the same to eat rat, pig, human or chicken. Religious and cultural differences aside, I think having rats with a complete set of the human immune system running around in the sewer systems of the world is not a good idea either. Each organism has it's niche and broadening might not be a good idea. It might expose us to unknown pathogens. Jim Webster wrote: Oz wrote in message ... writes would you care if grampa's genes where in your pigs? No. Why should I? I wouldn't care if some of my genes were in a pig. We share lots of genes with pigs anyway. latest figures was we are 300 genes different from mice, which isn't a lot in 30,000+ genes. -- Jim Webster "The pasture of stupidity is unwholesome to mankind" 'Abd-ar-Rahman b.
