Genetically Modified Cows Created to Produce ‘Human Breast Milk’
It appears genetically modified babies, lab monkeys, genetically modified mosquitoes, and even human-hybrids are not enough for some geneticists who continue to modify the very genetic coding of nature more and more each day. In the latest creation unleashed by scientists, human genes have successfully been inserted into genetically modified cows that now allow them to produce ‘human’ milk — milk that has the very same properties as human breast milk.
Genetically Modified Cows for Human Breast Milk?
This human-cow hybrid milk is now being lined up as an alternative milk formula for babies, with scientists envisioning ‘herds of genetically modified cows’ to ultimately provide the human breast milk needed to feed newborns. The announcement is reminiscent of Monsanto’s genetically modified bovine growth hormone known as rBGH. Now banned in over 27 countries (but still sold widely in the United States), the synthetic hormone is created using molecules and DNA sequences that are a result of molecular cloning. A large amount of peer-reviewed research has identified rBGH as a risk factor for both breast and gastrointestinal cancer, yet many US ‘officials’ and ‘scientists’ continue to claim it is safe. Remember, it is banned in over 27 other nations for legitimate health concerns.
According to the lead researcher Professor Ning Li, this modified human milk is set to hit the dinner table within 10 years or so:
“We aim to commercialize some research in this area in coming three years. For the “human-like milk”, 10 years or maybe more time will be required to finally pour this enhanced milk into the consumer’s cup.”
It sounds like a science fiction novel in which morality and reason is but a thing of the past – human milk from genetically modified cows – however, it is actually a daunting reality. You see in the past, after it came out that ‘underground’ labs were actually creating human-hybrid chimeras using the genetic imprint of humans to breed disturbing and horrific ‘creatures’, scientists began to speak out over the serious ethical and moral implications. There is also a great concern of preserving the ‘genetic integrity’ of not only human beings and living animals, but the environment as well.
As one spokesperson for the Royal Society for the Protection of Animals notes, cloned animals have in the past demonstrated serious health conditions that have alarmed researchers. So why are these scientists ready to roll out this genetically modified ‘human breast milk’ into grocery stores nationwide? She said:
“Offspring of cloned animals often suffer health and welfare problems, so this would be a grave concern.”
An example of such a genetic threat can be examined with the introduction of genetically modified salmon. Pushed by the USDA and major biotech corporations, AquAdvantage salmon (the modified brand), was just moments away from approval when Congress blocked the FDA from approving the salmon for consumption due to serious health and environmental concerns.
The fact of the matter is that not only does research exist showing that consuming genetically modified food products is hazardous to your health, but they threaten nature as a whole. Both the genetically modified babies and salmon, if unleashed to the public, can effectively change the very genetic structure of future generations — changes that can cause serious long-term consequences that we do not even fully understand.
The question is how long will scientists continue to endanger public health and the welfare of all living creatures involved with rampant genetic modification of nature before the consequences present themselves in such a manner that invokes serious repercussions.

This is just crazy, psycho science. It is unnatural and unhealthy.
The scientists must have no conscience.
However, when the people don't stand up against this it will continue at even deeper levels.
Crazy! Sometimes I feel helpless with all this going on…then I remember, that more and more people, like me, are "voting" by buying only organic everything, and supporting local organic farmers…… the more people know about this kind of thing, the more impact we will have as a mass consumer group…
Action still needs to be taken though, agreed….
Is there a petition or action group on this specific GM catastrophe – I would like to join (I already sign things everyday against GMO's, Monsanto, etc etc)
Thank you Samantha I really do love intelligent people keep up the fight as much as you can
The great thing about human breast milk is that babies can consume it directly from a human breast. It is never necessary to use a bottle. Dads need not be woken in the middle of the night; moms can take care of everything themselves. My son was breast fed until he could drink other liquids from a cup entirely on his own.
So, are you are implying that it is ok to use breast milk from a cloned cow?
the only problem with this Eliot W.Collins is that your singular vision is astonishing not all are like you and your son we are all humans not individuals here , my son was breast fed also but was allergic to breast milk there for he needed to be put on formula specifically designed for babies , now my second son was not allergic and breast fed fine .Wakeup change your thinking from selfishness to human kindness , this is not about breast fed babies this is about a war on mother nature and if we let these people do this we will lose in the end because mothers will no longer be breast feeding their babies for they will be poisoned from the genetically modified food they consume your point of view is singular and stupid , And I dont want to offend you but your ignorrance offends me
Our government is out of control! We all need to be informed and take to the streets and protest all this ge of our food and now all these other areas. I can not believe how far they keep pushing the ge -we are about to lose our voice on these issues if we don't do something more proactive.
This has GOT to be the most disgusting thing I have ever freaking heard!
I for one can not wait to leave this planet science and technology is a joke a slap in the face of all that is right it goes against nature with every stupid idea it comes up with , are we that arrogant to think we are smart enough to think we can screw with mother nature and not pay an ultimate price in the end our own health is at risk if we let these losers and i mean losers do this , I love my life and my children and my family and neighbors and my fellow humans ,animals and plants , I love the freedom to breath oxygen into my lungs and eat unpoisoned foods and fish and plants and vegetables and drink un healthy milk which i do not anymore or even unhealthy flouridated water , I grow my own garden I have stopped eating all meat ,and mostly I have stopped watching their stupid propaganda machine the television , I read books I educate myself I go outside and I live a pure life and I m not even religeous
Interfering with nature-wrong.
next thing we know cows will give birth to our children saving women the hassle!
I think this is a brilliant idea! As long as it doesn’t involve any toxic GMOs or has any negative effect on our planet and living systems is find with my standards
