Glow-in-the-Dark Piggies


These pigs  were injected with jellyfish DNA when they were tiny embryos to see whether or not the glow factor would take.



The research proves that it is possible to manipulate biological development by introducing genes at an embryonic level and could lead to the creation of cheaper and more efficient medicines. It may be some time before this type of practical genetic engineering becomes a reality. Until then I think they would make really cool night lights.
