How about a pig with wings? You'd get 4 drumsticks and 2 wings with pork flavor.
How bout a 12 ft pig so more BACON and pork chops.
Yea I quit reading DM they won’t let me use my adblocker
An extra set of legs is relatively easy to accomplish. It would just involve adjusting the homeobox genes to signal the developing embryo to put a leg in the place of a wing.

Plus there would be a market for a turkey with extra drumsticks. Putting wings on a pig is ridiculous.
“ The article is fine but doesn’t really get at what the AIM is:”
Most of the aim is to create animal organs (heart, kidney, liver, etc) for transplantation into humans. There are millions being poured into this concept all over the world. As an example, there are almost 500,000 people in kidney failure who are own dialysis. Dialysis is not fun and is very expensive but it keeps you alive.
This research is to solve the rejection issues to help solve this problem.
Animal parts are already used in humans just not major organs - yet.

Sounds like the creation of a secret weapon against the Jihad.
My reaction in one word:
Eeewwwww!
To each, their own. I like chicken wings. Imagine the size of wings on a pig - and pork flavored, yum.

Mix a pig with a chicken, and you can have bacon and eggs from one animal, not to mention possibility of chicken-flavored meat along with your bacon.
I was at a friend's party over a month ago, she had a tray with a cooked whole pig in it. A 2-foot pig, and she had way too much meat left over (I took some home). Hope you have a large fridge to store meat from a 12-ft pig!
At a Puget Sound Chapter FReeper Meet in 2000, we did the same thing, although the pig wasn’t as large. We named it Diane Fineswine.
