The human protein produced in the milk of goats is produced as a protein, does not have to be "clipped" from its chinese or e.coli host, does not contain any cytoplasm The purification method is simple and the protein is pure. I prefer the all american goat thank you. The goats will not be let out in the wild, the company has too much invested in them and they already have strict security and safeguards in place as to who is allowed near the facility. Let's see now, how do labs dispose of Chinese Hamster Ovary cells that have been modified with drugs, or E.coli..I think many of the flasks may be thrown in the trash when the cells are not 100% confluent or active. So, which is more of an issue here?

For many years, I have taken the blood thinning drugs. But now I need eye surgery, so this human antithrombin protein would be well received by me. Note: The conventional blood thinning drugs are made out of some pretty weird stuff like other prestriptions. nikilee As one of the 1 in 5,000 people, I think this is great.

Couple that with the fact that history shows us that new drugs that come out on the market will be the center of many deaths and lawsuits five to ten years after they are introduced and it is obvious that FDA approval is meaningless. But don't take my word for it. Look it up. That's what the computer/internet is for. The last paragraph of the article is right on; imagine this getting into the wild and then we realize it actually does more harm than good.

We've come far along from the days of Chinese hamster ovary cells in bioreactors producting drugs for human use. I wonder how this will be received by the populace? . . .
