I'm a great believer in if you find a cure or treatment fine but QUIT WITH ALL THIS GENETIC FIDDLING NONSENSE! There is areason for diseases,illnesses,viruses,bacteria etc and its called NATURE and NATURAL SELECTION. Note to all scientists, the words nature and natural are a bit of a hint here. Yes i would love it if they found a cure for cancer being no stranger to the disease itself but, animals are being subjected to even more inhumane practises than ever before. For a cure that may or may not work in the long run. We as man feel we have to interfere with nature and all its little foibles,but look at how much more damage we cause than good. ie mad cow disease...those wonderful boffins found a way to feed cattle cheaply and efficiently didn't they til 'whoops forgot to mention we are basically feeding our cows with cows' thus introducind cjd into humans. but i digress and its time i came off my high horse and went for a smoke seeing as some scientist said recently nicotine helps aid digestion...never mind the fact i cough my lungs up; and think that although i may not die from bowel cancer my poor lungs are shot to hell. Oh and i'll have poached eggs on toast for breakfast please....just in case Call me cynical but all this mucking about with animals,(thankfully its not bestiality) but as near as damnit as can be called,is sickening to me.
