Here is the Link refering to this scientific "breakthrough". The claim is that these pigs were modified with a protein which causes their skin to be bioluminescent in order to study if the pigs could pass these traits on to their offspring in order to discover weather or not future Geneticly Modified pigs could pass on the traits bred into them for growing human replacement organs. I don't see how that could go wrong at all. We already know of the dangers that pork can pose to the body in terms of parasites and health problems, what do you think is going to happen when you start harvesting and implanting organs from such chimeras?
From the article:
The glowing piglets' birth proves transgenic pigs are fertile and able to pass on their engineered traits to their offspring, according to Liu Zhonghua, a professor overseeing the breeding program at Northeast Agricultural University.
Several years back researchers pulled the same "hat trick" using monkeys with the intention of advancing technology to be used on humans. Others have used mice and even fish which were marketed as pets and subsequently made it into the wild which led California to place a ban on the sale of the glowing Zebra Fish. In India and Africa there have been reports of GMO "glowing" monkeys escaping into the wild and still sighted regularly.
And just like in plants, now they want to grow medicine in animals used for human consumption, read more here.
This is really starting to get out of hand.

This is an amazing breakthrough that we can have genetically altered animals able to reproduce!
Yeah, aint it amazing! What a flaming pile of shit! These fuckers are loosing the war, this country is one shot away from the revolution and one of the first reforms that will be implemented is that all genetic modification stops, that's a guarantee, most patriots are farmers/gardeners into the eco-logical movement or those who are interested and after the revolution this shit will come to an end!
