Why breed when you can just print one out?
- godzillabrennus 10y agoWhy raise horses when you can race cars? Because we can.
- rch 10y agoI get that sentiment, completely. But what happens when breeding becomes irrelevant in the face of genetic engineering? Doesn't matter to me; I prefer polo.
- lfowles 10y agoEh, just like cars I imagine you'd have "stock" classes and "modified" classes.
- douche 10y agoMay we never have any "funny" horses... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funny_Car https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Funny_Car
- lfowles 10y agoI suppose that would be horses with muscle hyperplasia? (For reference, here's a whippet with that condition: http://s30.photobucket.com/user/breakzhabit/media/Stuff/2192-640.jpg.html http://s30.photobucket.com/user/breakzhabit/media/Stuff/2192... )
- jessaustin 10y agoThe thoroughbred registries will refuse to issue papers for genetically engineered animals, at least for the foreseeable future. It's unethical to give performance-enhancing drugs to horses. How much worse would it be to modify their genome, in experimental fashion, for that purpose?
