Would this do away with pork as being unclean?

Researchers report they have created pigs that produce omega-3 fatty acids, which are known to improve heart function and help reduce the risks for heart disease, representing the first cloned transgenic livestock in the world that can make the beneficial compound. The research could be a boost to both farmers and health-conscious consumers seeking an alternative and safer source of omega-3 fatty acids. Currently, the only way for humans to realize the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids is by taking dietary supplements or by eating certain types of fish that may also..

Now they are messing around with "transgenetic pigs"?

I wouldnt trust the scientists on this until they have been on the market for a few years.

I say bring on Frankenpig. See if they can isolate the gene that's responsible for making pigs delicious, and then genetically engineer some tofu that tastes good.
