Personally I swing towards Alan Goldberg. It does not resolve the ethics of how animals are treated in those environments.

Yes. These scientists think they can co everything with genetics, Meanwhile GM food has NOT been proven safe. Actually there have been some proofs to the opposite but they try to hide those reports.

So could animals that have been genetically engineered to not feel pain (or at least not be bothered by the sensation) offer a solution to an ethical dilemma posed by these meat factories?</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://blogs.discovermagazine.com/80beats/2009/09/03/are-pain-free-animals-the-future-of-meat/">Still, does pain-free meat really mean guilt-free?
