INTERESTING FACT

Why do people think this is okay?

Twisting and bending nature to the way we want it...

Listen to you Sheida, whining about the fiddling around with the DNA of cats. It's not like God gives a crap. loosen up

Wow...
can you buy them in Argos?

Oh wow! Damn i almost feel bad for wanting one even though i am not allergic. is that selfish? XD

hello, i want some amazing fact about life living

everyone knows this is cool stuff.
but it isn't ethical.
nature made cats a certain way.
we should not play around with the grand design.
it will come back to bite us in the future.

you're wrong, genetic engineering is a very good thing; GM crops in LEDCs are sustainable and provide resources to the community by being more resistant to unfavourable weather and diseases. genetically modifying bacteria makes insulin in large quantities, which people need.
you may think its not ethical to play around with genes, but do you think it would be ethical to just stop ?

this does not give you any information on cats

i want actual information for an specimen

Thats stupid! All you have to do is go to Wall-mart and purchase a Fur-real cat! Don't mess with Mother Nature!!! Crazy scienctists!

God would not have given us the tools or the knowledge if he didn't want us to advance scientifically! If you look at it as crazy scientist then if you were in need of a kidney transplant it wouldn't be available to you because that is in your eyes messing with how nature intended things to be.

You guys are so unkind. Don't mess with nature. The day nature messes with you, you're gone forever.

God gave us free will dude, but that doesnt mean we cant do things he doesnt want us to do.

I can see both sides.
However, It's not like their playing with their brain or anything, all they are doing is making it so that whatever it is, their hair, that makes it so people are miserable is now okay to be around.

Father! You've gotta stop being like this! start caring for the world and we might make it better :(
You know what the counceller said last time you got like this!

If god didn't want us to mess with genetics why would he give us the intelligence to even understand it

My cat is hypoallergenic. My boyfriend loves him! he's so sweet and loveable, theres nothing wrong with it

Finally a cat im not allergic to. Ive been told they taste like chicken. yummmm

ok one more comment for you believers. Do you use soap? What about neosporin? If your kid has an infection do you get them some penicillin? WEll STOP! Every time you use that stuff it alters the genetics of some of the germs on your skin and that is NOT how god made them.

so god put us all on Earth.

he made mother nature the way it was millions of years ago.

people say we should not play around with mother nature,

but what if god wanted us to play with mother nature?

and bobo, if you didn't use penicillin to treat that infection, you would either die prematurely, or be an idiot to think of using penicillin in the first place.

Wow sweet! Even though Im not allergic, for all those allergic cat-lovers this would be purrfect! (bad-cat pun)

somebody quote the bible. pleeeease. i'd like to hear where it says not to make cats hypoallergenic.

Soon they will improve these cats and the cats will turn on they're masters and take over the world ! Mwhaha. Really. We shouldn't mess with Mother Nature.

Hello people...
We are not the only ones on this planet...the cats have lives too. Modifying them just so that some humans aren't allergic? If that's not selfishness, then I don't know what is. What next? Are you going to modify the pollen so we're not allergic and kill off all the bees? Leave the poor cats alone, they are already our pets and have been tamed, now lay off.
Sorry, daily rant there ^ ^

K people, i believe God gave us minds so we can use them. People around the world have taken all kinds of components that GOD gave us to make AMAZING break through(s) which have been VERY useful! If we didn't use our minds and the compounds on earth to the best of our abilities, how would we even have insulin? How would scientists be doing stem cell research? Scientist are messing with genes to find out what causes cancer so they can CURE it. Should they stop trying to find a cure because UNINFORMED people think its unethical. As a person who is allergic to cats AND believes in God i think this is an amazing break through! Do you know how many people hate animals JUST because their allergic to them? Its not like people are KILLING the poor cats, there taking DNA to learn more about them and making a better breed of animal. If that's wrong than how about all of us stop going for blood tests to find out if we have diabetes or different diseases. Do you know how many humans would die? Doctors and scientists are finding out so much about the human body everyday, so why shouldn't they do it with other species? Are you all saying its unethical because its a cat and not a drug? Have you forgotten that said drugs have tiny organism in it? is it wrong to mess with them? Or is it ok because its helping humans? If so, this new breed is helping humans. Hey, what if they found a cure for cancer in the new and improved breed of cat???? Remember anything is possible. If you don't believe me than read the bible and stop talking on his behalf. How many stories are in the bible of people being cured of epilepsy. Who says God didn't give this break through to a scientist in a dream or vision. Everyone has a purpose. MABYE said scientists was to make a hypoallergenic cat. Hmmmm so b4 go go start bashing the "stupid scientists" think about this from all views. Who are YOU to decide if this is wrong? YOUR not god!!!

I want to know if its a dominant gene.

Someone's response said earlier-"Show me where it says in the bible that we should not modify cats". I fully agree. According to the bible man was not made for the animals, but animals for man, however we have a responsibility to be good stewards of what God has put under us. Again I don't see the harm if they are not being hurt/abused.

This is TOTALLY ok. Why wouldn't it be?
I used to be so allergic to cats that I couldn't even be in the same room. This is AWESOME!
