Guest guest Posted June 9, 2011 Report Share Posted June 9, 2011 I am not sure if I am horrified or pleased for the health advancement towards reduced allergen milk products. I guess we don't have to worry about a career for women in the human milk production industry - the dairy industry has just won that race - human milk without the 'ewww' factor - although my initial horrified reaction towards 'genetically modified human cow milk' may be with the majority. The feminist in me is the horrified part though so I may still be minority - I think there is a real need and place for 'wet nurses' and human milk banks of the real variety - not the GM cow type.

Chinese scientists have genetically modified dairy cows to produce human breast milk, and hope to be selling it in supermarkets within three years. The milk produced by the transgenic cows is identical to the human variety, with the same immune-boosting and antibacterial qualities as breast milk, scientists at China's Agricultural University in Beijing said. The transgenic herd of 300 was bred by inserting human genes into cloned cow embryos which were then implanted into surrogate cows. The technology used was similar to that used to produce Dolly the sheep, the first mammal to be cloned by scientists, in Scotland. The milk is still undergoing safety tests, but with government permission it will be sold to consumers as a more nutritious dairy drink than cow's milk. Workers at the university's dairy farm have already tasted the milk -- and said it is sweeter and stronger than the bovine variety, according to Sky News<http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/Strange-News/China-Scientists-Engineer-Gen\ etically-Modified-Cows-To-Produce-Human-Breast-Milk/Article/201106116006586>. " It's good, " said worker Jiang Yao. " It's better for you because it's genetically modified. " The scientists have also produced animals that are resistant to mad cow disease, as well as beef cattle that are genetically modified to produce more nutritious meat. The director of the research project, Professor Li Ning, said Western concerns about the ethics of genetic modification are misplaced. " There are 1.5 billion people in the world who don't get enough to eat, " he said. " It's our duty to develop science and technology, not to hold it back.

Guest guest Posted June 11, 2011 Report Share Posted June 11, 2011 This totally grosses me out....the whole thing - gentically modified and human milk coming from a cow. Makes one lose their taste for milk. Is it going to be available for all human consumption LOL in addition to the target population = babies? I am in agreement that we need more wet nurses and women nursing. Healthy regards, Tsolig " Sunny " Shahinian, MS, RD sunny.shahinian@...
