Cow cloned to produce human milk
The cow's genome was spliced with human genes, allowing the cow to produce the equivalent of mother's milk.

STOP ABUSE Animal liberation!
simply put, it's a horrible idea and i don't like to think about it.
This is disgusting i do not understand how humans in general drink milk we are probably the only species in the world besides cats that keep drinking milk. what do we gain form milk, calcium cant we get it some other way. i just don't like milk at all besides it makes my stomach hurt so i refuse to drink it. i wold rather drink some soy milk tastes better anyway.
This is a case of people justifying something (cow-human milk), simply by the fact that they have the science technology to do so. I find this concept repulsive and wish that more people would recognize that food and agriculture is not the place to experiment with genetic altering (of crops or animals).
This is just so wrong! Yes cows milk is meant for calfs and human milk is meant for human babies! But that should be where it ends! Wrong wrong wrong!
While reading this, my boyfriend and I debated: would this be a healthier substitute for cow milk? Humans aren't even intended to digest cow milk, yet it's a staple in most American homes. "Mom's Shopping List": Eggs, Bread, and Milk.
