This is an amazing! While many worry about not being able to get another HDTV this year. These scientists may have just saved millions of future lives. Not to mention how it will help reduce the need for disaster aid and other aid that is costing us way too much for so little effect.

What do you think about this "precision breeding" stuff tho? While I will admit it is FAR safer for the environment than GMO. I just don't want to cheerlead it just yet.
