    Comment: As far as the glowing cats go, they were trying to develop treatment for genetic disease. Why vilify these Korean scientists who are trying to better the human race? Should they really be spending that money to support war of feed the starving children of other countries? I think not. My intentions aren't to offend, but the parents of said starving children should not have chosen to procreate if they couldn't feed their offspring.

    Comment: Well I suppose science wants to find new stuff...but all that genetic modification mumbojumbo aside, I sure hope those wolves will be given a happy life. They're wild animals and need space, so hopefully that cage they're gnawing on isn't home.

    Comment: in my last comments I had two different peices of info when I was talking about the glowing fish but I just found the article. These scientists in Taiwan used a gene found in some jellyfish to make zebra fish glow! They sold it to some company that sold the fish (now called GloFish or Night Pearl Fish) as pets. You can buy them at some pet stores except if you live in California. Weird isn't it? Oh! Almost forgot! It's from 2004 in a book by that science education company "Brain POP".
