Gene-edited farm animals: Will the public eat them?

(SFGate) Three cows clomped single-file through a chute to line up for sonograms - ultrasound preg checks - to reveal if they were expecting calves next summer. Right now. This is exciting right this minute animal geneticist Alison Van Eenennaam said as she waited for a tiny blob of a fetus to materialize on a laptop screen on a recent afternoon at the Beef Barn part of the University of California at Daviss sprawling agricultural facilities for teaching and research. The cows had been implanted a month and a half earlier with embryos genetically edited to grow and look like males regardless of their biological gender.
