If you have ever lost your pig in a dark parking lot at night, you will certainly be relieved to hear this. Scientist in Taiwan have bred fluorescent pigs. They have added genetic material from jellyfish to pig embryos to breed a pig that glows in the dark.The point of this was not that we are in need of glowing pigs. It is an attempt to better understand genetics in hopes of helping to cure and prevent disease in humans. Anything we do genetically does, of course, cause us to pause momentarily to think about the moral, ethical and theological implications of such a thing and consider how far we should take such endeavors. But, in the meantime, enjoy the wonder of pigs that glow.
