Engineering Mad Cow Out Of Cows
File this under "Two wrongs don't make a right." Scientists have announced that they've genetically engineered cows to be resistant to mad cow disease, according to Wired's Bodyhack blog. The prions behind the brain-wasting illness didn't take hold in the engineered cows.
The company that did the work isn't interested in cows destined for beef, and the results are still early, but how long do you think we'll have to wait until the government approves GMO cows as a solution to mad cow disease, itself a by-product of our industrialized agriculture and our demand for cheap meat? GMO will become the new irradiation, applying a Band-Aid to a problem instead of dodging the injury in the first place.
