JaCh Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 Would it be possible to to genetically alter any animals size? Like some companies do with the size of fruits and vegetables. Are there any companies trying this? I'm really curious, so far I haven't found anything.
AzurePhoenix Posted August 17, 2010 Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) We do it all the time with livestock. Giant European rabbits, certain breeds of cattle or pig or what have you for meat production. Draft horses vs miniature horses. Or just about any dog breed. No reason you couldn't do it with genetic engineering, if you worked out what to tweak, but you'd need a reason why and it has to be worth the investment. Edited August 17, 2010 by AzurePhoenix 1
