It is the arrogance of every culture to believe that they possess the cutting edge of technology that will answer the riddles of life. You can go back and read works from any century and find that people believed they were right on that fine sharp edge of knowing how all came about. We are generally arrogant and the high priests of our society, the scientists, are the most arrogant of all.
What will be the end result of cows that are genetically modified to produce human milk. We will now find out possibly even in our lifetime.
The Telegraph: Genetically modified cows produce 'human' milk
The scientists have successfully introduced human genes into 300 dairy cows to produce milk with the same properties as human breast milk.
"The milk tastes stronger than normal milk."
"Our study describes transgenic cattle whose milk offers the similar nutritional benefits as human milk."
"The modified bovine milk is a possible substitute for human milk. It fulfilled the conception of humanising the bovine milk."
"Why do we need this milk – what is it giving us that we haven't already got."
