Anti -Cancer chicken eggs produced...

UK scientists have developed genetically modified chickens capable of laying eggs containing proteins needed to make cancer-fighting drugs..
The breakthrough has been announced by the same research centre that created the cloned sheep 'Dolly'..
The Roslin Institute, near Edinburgh, says it has produced five generations of birds that can produce useful levels of life-saving proteins in egg whites..
The work could lead to a range of drugs that are cheaper and easier to make...
Does anybody have any comments on genetically modified animals/poultry/products?

Sounds like a good thing, as long as nobody ever gets a chemotherapy omelet by accident...

i like that The mineral selenium may help protect some women from developing breast cancer, research has suggested.
Scientists from the University of Illinois believe they may have worked out how selenium interacts with a natural body chemical to offer protection. This is not the first health claim to be made about selenium. Studies have suggested that it can reduce the likelihood of other types of cancer, and some have linked it to a lowered chance of heart disease. The latest study looked at tissue samples from more than 500 women who did not have breast cancer, and compared their genetic makeup with those in 79 breast cancer tissue samples.
