Gene manipulation scientists have come up with a cow that produces human milk. They are still testing it to ensure it is safe for humans to drink, but when testing is finished it will be used to feed babies as an alternative to breast milk. An interesting idea, but I think that they are missing another brilliant use for a cow that gives human milk:
You read all sorts of legends about children being raised by wolves, and stories about kids brought up by monkeys, but that is all they are - legends and stories. So how about children really being raised by cows. Now they can produce human milk, they could take over the whole job and rear the little rug rats. That frees up us humans to do other things - like having fun. The kid gets to have a cool mum called Daisy or Ermentrude. And think how cool it would be to have a bull as a dad. An instant winner in playground oneupmanship:
"My dad can beat your dad"
"Well my dad can gouge your dad. He'll rip his stomach open with his horns then trample him to death with his hooves."
Cool.
