JayB Posted January 4, 2007 Posted January 4, 2007 More scary stuff from the world of genetic engineering and cloning... "Cloned cows free of madness Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO — Scientists have genetically engineered a dozen cows to be free from the proteins that cause mad-cow disease, a breakthrough that may make the animals immune to the brain-wasting disease. An international team of researchers from the U.S. and Japan reported Sunday that they had "knocked out" the gene responsible for making the proteins, called prions. The disease didn't take hold when brain tissue from two of the genetically engineered cows was exposed to bad prions in the laboratory, they said." Repeat after me.
