Taiwan breeds green-glowing pigs

[Chupacabra]

I wish my cats were glow-in-the-dark. Then maybe I wouldn't trip on them constantly in the night.

I wouldn't want to glow in the dark it would make stalking being inconspicuous at night a lot harder.

Scientists in Taiwan say they have bred three pigs that "glow in the dark".

The researchers hope the pigs will boost the island's stem cell research, as well as helping with the study of human disease.

Cure for disease itself doesn't come from green pigs. Green-glowing pigs means one more piece of information of how genes work, also more press for the lab (to show that lab is capable of genetic research).

 

Reseach of cure for something is not like "Volia! Here is your freaking magic elixir to cure AIDS!". It takes years and years of fundamental research by different groups of scientists in different countries and collecting tiny bits of information, not to mention developing and deploying a working solution on the basis of fundamental research results.
