Thoughts on Glow-in-the-dark Cats
Whoo. Glow-in-the-dark kittens.
We need more bioengineering like this.
Ethics be damned. Glow-in-the-dark kittens would be good for the kittens: there would be less chance of them getting hit by a car at night if they fluoresced.
In fact, I would bet dollars to donuts that if you injected 1% of the cats today with jellyfish DNA, by the end of the century 90% of the cats would glow. It’s evolution in action: getting hit by cars at night kill a lot of cats. (I've lost three that way.) Glow-in-the-dark cats would live longer and breed more.
Damn it, if God didn't want cats to glow, he wouldn't give us DNA recombination technology in the first place!
