    Speaking of genes, let me ask another pesky question. Can anyone tell me
    why we don't get TV news or Discovery reports on gene mutations with
    beneficial effects like:

    "News: MIT gene x mutation causes chickens to lay more eggs!"

    "News: Harvard gene y mutation causes race horses to run faster!"

    With Project Genome well underway the individual gene mutations could even
    be located on the chromosomes.

    But we never get reports like these.

    POC
