Hi Lactnetters. Received this today from the Australian Midwifery Mailing
List. What will they think of next???

"WHAT ABOUT THIS????  The NZ government scientists are planning to put
human
genes in dairy cattle in order to breed cows that produce milk more like
human milk.  Response, according to the Hobart Mercury 8/2/99, p 7,
focusses on the pollution aspect, the fact that products do not have to be
labelled as genetically modifed, etc.  Where is the response from those
concerned that we need humans fully able to give human milk before we need
cows to do it for us???

Ain't life absurd?  Mind you, what about the poor calves that don't get
good
cow's milk?"
