Writer, activist, and mother of two, Samantha DeLoach, joins me to delve into the complex and often troubling world of reproductive technologies, including egg harvesting and IVF. We explore the emotional and medical consequences that women face when they engage with these procedures, particularly the risks that are often downplayed or ignored by the industry. Samantha shares her personal journey, reflecting on her own experiences as a college student tempted by the allure of quick cash for egg donation, and how her perspective has evolved over the years.We discuss the predatory nature of the reproductive industry, which targets vulnerable young women, and the societal pressures that lead them to make decisions that could have lifelong repercussions. Samantha highlights the stark reality that many women are sold a dream of balancing career and motherhood, only to find that the success rates of using frozen eggs are alarmingly low.Additionally, we touch on the philosophical implications of separating motherhood into distinct roles—biological, gestational, and social—and the potential identity issues that children conceived through these means may face. This conversation aims to challenge listeners to think critically about the ethics of reproductive technologies and the importance of prioritizing the well-being of children over adult desires. Join us as we navigate these pressing issues in bioethics and family planning.Growing up in a small town in the heart of Florida, Samantha DeLoach developed a deep appreciation for truth, beauty, and conviction. Now a social media consultant for Live Action and Them Before Us, she is a bold advocate for the pro-life cause and children's rights. Known as @Prolife_Sam on X, Samantha takes on pro-choice arguments with razor-sharp clarity, sharing the beauty of motherhood, and connecting women in crisis with life-affirming resources. A devoted Christian, wife of nearly 12 years, and mother of two boys, she believes the culture is starving for truth and she's committed to shining light into a morally declining culture by emphasizing that the rights and well-being of children must come before the desires of adults.Samantha's article in Evie Magazine: They Told Us Motherhood Could Wait, Then Sold it Back to Us at $12,000 a Round 00:00 Start[00:02:29] Egg harvesting consequences in college.[00:05:20] Consequences of egg donation.[00:08:11] Predatory egg donation practices.[00:11:12] Egg freezing and career choices.[00:15:24] Identity issues in reproductive technology.[00:19:21] Adoption vs. Surrogacy Perspectives.[00:25:00] Surrogacy and maternal roles.[00:27:24] The importance of childhood attachment.[00:32:36] Reproductive technologies and attachment wounds.[00:35:19] Rights and protection of children.[00:39:24] IVF and abortion in media.[00:44:54] Maternal attachment and pregnancy.[00:48:08] Mother-child emotional bond.[00:51:39] Birth control's long-term impact.[00:55:28] IVF and egg retrieval process.[01:02:00] IVF risks and complications.[01:02:43] IVF emotional decisions and regrets.[01:06:24] IVF and ethical dilemmas.[01:12:27] Child memory and psychological effects.[01:14:38] Genetically engineering children today.[01:20:18] Human connection and artificial wombs.[01:22:05] Children's rights and responsibilities.[01:25:42] Responsibility to future children.[01:29:40] Family origin stories and intentions.[01:32:57] Identity formation through stories.ROGD REPAIR Course + Community gives concerned parents instant access to over 120 lessons providing the psychological insights and communication tools you need to get through to your kid.

BIG, DIFFICULT, FASCINATING QUESTIONS (THAT WE'LL HAVE TO FACE IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE). It seems only fitting that Matt Jordan – with his genetically perfect beard – should assume command of the USS 3Q3D for a conversation that tackles the toughest bioethical questions of our not-at-all distant future. Joined as usual by Amanda Adams and Chris Mikolay, the group wastes no time discussing whether we ought to genetically enhance our children, the second and third order consequences of dramatically increasing lifespans, and whether it's a good idea to implant a computer chip in our heads to make us a whole lot smarter. The questions are as good as the drinks (and in this episode, the drinks are *chef's kiss*), and resulting conversation is so strong that it's hard to believe it wasn't held by superhumans from the future.      Drinks in this Episode: Last Word coctkail >> 3/4 ounce gin; 3/4 ounce green Chartreuse; 3/4 ounce maraschino liqueur; 3/4 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed; Garnish: brandied cherry (optional). Add the gin, green Chartreuse, maraschino liqueur and lime juice into a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into a chilled coupe glass and enjoy on your spaceship to Mars.  Sakura Sunrise cocktail >> 1 ½ ounce Roku gin; ½ ounce simple syrup; ¾ ounce grapefruit juice; ½ ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed; splash of St. Germain; 3 dashes Lavender bitters. Mix all ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice and strain into a coupe. Enjoy it anywhere, but ideally at a fancy bar on the North Shore of Hawaii so you can humblebrag about it later during a podcast recording.  Lemon Drop cocktail >> 2 ounces vodka; 1/2 ounce triple sec; 1 ounce lemon juice, freshly squeezed; 1 ounce simple syrup. Garnish: sugar rim. Coat the rim of a cocktail glass with sugar and set aside (do this a few minutes ahead so the sugar can dry and adhere well to the glass). Add the vodka, triple sec, lemon juice and simple syrup to a shaker with ice and shake until well-chilled. Strain into the prepared glass, take a sip, and immediately declare how much you enjoyed Lemonheads as a kid.  If you've been enjoying the 3Q3D podcast, please subscribe and consider giving us a rating, a review, or sharing an episode with a friend. Follow our social sites here: Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/3drinkspodcast/?hl=en  Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/3Drinkspodcast

Why is it that humans can talk but mice can't? New research published in the journal Nature Communications found that it might be due to a specific gene. If you asked somebody what sound a mouse makes, most people would answer 'squeak' - but mice can also make chirping sounds in the ultrasonic range that humans can't hear. The researchers took a variant of a gene called NOVA1, which is only found in humans, and gene-edited it into mice. The genetically modified mice started to squeak differently to the mice without the gene. Genetically modified baby mice that were separated from their mothers made very distinctly different sounds compared to non-modified baby mice from the same litter. Adult male mice also changed their songs during mating calls when they had the NOVA1 gene. These results suggests that the human version of NOVA1 is likely to influence vocal communication and could be a key player in the evolution of our speech. To confirm that this genetic variant was truly unique to modern humans, the researchers then did an analysis that checked genomes from extinct human species, the Neanderthals and Denisovans. They found that our ancient ancestors lacked this variant, however it was present in the genomes of modern humans from around the world. Humans are unique as a species when it comes to how we communicate, and knowing the gene involved in language could help us to understand how we began talking in the first place as well as potentially helping in treating speech disorders.

The Vertebrate Genomes Project: It's an ambitious effort by an international group of scientists to create a "Genome Ark" by sequencing the genomes of about 70,000 animal species. The hope is that through all of this gene sequencing, scientists will be able to answer some basic but important questions like: What makes a bird, well, a bird? What makes a mammal a mammal? Plus, with so many species on the verge of extinction, can scientists record their genetic information before they go extinct – or better yet, maybe help save the population from going extinct? Guest host Jon Hamilton, one of our favorite science correspondents, talks to Erich Jarvis, the chair of this project, to learn what this ark of animal genomes could mean for our future – and why a platypus qualified for early boarding.

Melchizedek School of Priesthood | Nov 28, 2024 MSOP The journey of faith requires intentional growth, rooted in understanding and obedience. True life and transformation come through the knowledge of God and His promises. Just as professionals are shaped by the principles and nature of their fields, believers are molded by the principles and nature of God. Embracing His ways means becoming aligned not only with His image but also with His likeness—His character and behavior. Understanding God's promises is crucial. They are the foundation for participating in His divine nature, which allows believers to escape the world's corruption. This journey is marked by spiritual disciplines: adding virtue to faith, knowledge to virtue, self-control to knowledge, perseverance to self-control, godliness to perseverance, and love to brotherly kindness. These attributes ensure fruitfulness and stability in the faith. Faith, like Abraham's, involves trusting God's guidance even without knowing every detail of the path ahead. This faith produces obedience, distinguishing believers as set apart from worldly systems. God's word is transformative, meant to mold individuals into His likeness, equipping them with the principles and character necessary for a life of purpose and divine alignment. The process is continuous. Growth requires diligence, as stagnation leads to regression. Making one's calling and election sure means actively cultivating the traits of godly nature. These traits not only confirm one's faith but also ensure access to the fullness of God's kingdom. Ultimately, the life of faith is not about pretense but about genuine transformation. It is marked by active participation in the divine nature, the pursuit of spiritual knowledge, and the practice of godly virtues. This journey glorifies God, fulfills His promises, and leads believers into the eternal inheritance prepared for them.

“There is a possibility of meeting the Satguru which is death – the final great teacher of us all. Not as an escape from life, just an opening to what is inevitable, to what is here.” Genetically, human beings are designed to survive, to avoid death. The fear of death is natural. But when we are willing to consciously meet death, to investigate its depths and reality, we have a life-changing opportunity to shift our attention from our relative existence to the eternal nature of being. Then, we can live our lives from the ground of being, rather than the fear of death. This the gift of Ramana's inquiry into “Who dies?”    Learn more about Gangaji and her programs at gangaji.org

Samples of 2.5 billion-year-old mantle rocks found at spreading ocean ridges could put bounds on models of how the planet formed. And, researchers decreased the amount of lignin in poplar tree wood, making it stronger and slower to deteriorate.‘Time Capsule' Rocks Provide Clues About Earth's MantleIf you're looking to really learn about the history of our planet, look to geology. Ancient rocks can provide a time capsule of the conditions in which they formed. But even the geologic record has its limits—rocks and minerals get weathered, buried, heated, melted, and recycled over time—so geologists need to search out rare super-old geologic holdouts to tell about the earliest times.Writing in the journal Nature in July, researchers described what they can learn about the chemical history of Earth's mantle, the geologic layer beneath the planet's crust, from studying 2.5 billion-year-old rocks collected at spreading ocean ridges. They found that these unusual mantle rocks didn't necessarily have to have been formed in a world with less available oxygen, but could have been produced just by the mantle layer being hotter long ago.Dr. Elizabeth Cottrell, chair of the Department of Mineral Sciences at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, joins Ira to talk about the research and why a collection of old rocks is an important part of international scientific infrastructure.Genetically Engineering Stronger Poplar Tree WoodTrees play a big role in the fight against climate change: They can soak up carbon dioxide from the air and store it for centuries in the form of biomass. But it turns out that trees could be doing even more.In 2023, Science Friday covered how the company Living Carbon had genetically engineered poplar trees to have a more efficient photosynthesis process. This allowed the trees to grow twice as fast and store 30% more carbon biomass than regular poplars, making them ideal for the carbon credit market.Recently, researchers at the University of Maryland also experimented with genetically modifying poplar trees. But this time, they had a different goal in mind. They modified the tree to reduce the amount of lignin in its wood. This made the wood stronger without the need for harsh chemical processing. It also slowed the deterioration rate of the wood, which allows it to store carbon for longer periods.To explain more about this “super wood,” SciFri guest host Sophie Bushwick is joined by the lead plant geneticist on the study, Dr. Yiping Qi, associate professor at Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture at the University of Maryland.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

GMOs are living organisms whose genetic material has been artificially manipulated in a lab setting.” ”In 1994, the FDA approved the first GMO tomato.” ”Most GMOs fall into one of two categories: herbicide tolerant or pesticide producing.” ”We really don't know how their consumption is going to affect our health long-term. We also don't know how they will affect our planet or our animals. Remember, GMOs are, in essence, manufactured plants. They can't be found in nature anywhere. They are created in labs and then pushed on consumers, many times without our knowledge.” ”In the United States, three federal agencies regulate the use of GMOs: the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). These agencies claim GMOs are safe for consumption...but are they really? These organizations are the same ones who refuse to ban ingredients that other countries have banned because of their significant health concerns.” ”A consumer should know what they are eating at all times. They shouldn't have to guess or read between the lines. Labels should be clear one hundred percent of the time.” ”In the United States, the following crops are often genetically modified: corn, soybeans, cotton, sugarbeets, alfalfa, apples, canola, potatoes, eggplant, papaya, pineapple, salmon, squash.” ”Since the early 1990's (when GMOs really hit the market), Americans have grown sicker and sicker.” ”When we consume GMOs, we are participating in the ONLY long-term safety trial EVER conducted in humans.” ”One of the best ways to avoid exposure to toxic pesticides is knowing which foods you need to buy organic.” ”If a food is on the Dirty Dozen List, you NEED to buy organic because these fruits and vegetables have shown to be the most contaminated with harmful pesticides. The foods on the Clean 15, though, don't necessarily need to be organic.”      Dana Kay Resources:

Who rocks the most fashionable hats! 06/27/24

A recent online trend has some people convinced that their fruits and vegetables are made of silicon, rubber, or some other synthetic substance. The leading theory is that a new technology called Apeel, which is supposedly a company run by Bill Gates, is being sprayed on their foods. The problem is, Apeel Technologies is not a new company, Bill Gates' foundation is only one of many financiers that include Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, Anne Wojcicki, the government of Singapore, and the Rockefeller Foundation, and the product is only used on a small number of foods. Furthermore, it's not about making foods rubbery, but instead preserving their freshness. The company uses a concoction derived from grapeseed oil anad composed of polyunsaturated fats. Here is the issue: these ingredients can increase inflammation, alter hormones in the body, and promote obesity, but we don't talk about that or the larger context of what the viral video of bending produce proves - that most people for the first time just figured out what an unripe, overripe, or ‘bad' piece of food looks like. Instead we talk about Bill Gates and not James Rogers. Who is that?

I. Lately we've been discussing some of the ethics around genetics and embryo selection. One question that comes up in these debates is - are we claiming that some people are genetically inferior to other people? If we're trying to select schizophrenia genes out of the population - even setting aside debates about whether this would work and whether we can do it non-coercively - isn't this still in some sense claiming that schizophrenics are genetically inferior? And do we really want to do this? I find it clarifying to set aside schizophrenia for a second and look at cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a simple single-gene disorder. A mutation in this gene makes lung mucus too thick. People born with the disorder spend their lives fighting off various awful lung infections before dying early, usually in their 20s to 40s. There's a new $300,000/year medication that looks promising, but we've yet to see how much it can increase life expectancy. As far as I know, there's nothing good about cystic fibrosis. It's just an awful mutation that leads to a lifetime of choking on your own lung mucus. So: are people with cystic fibrosis genetically inferior, or not? https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/nobody-can-make-you-feel-genetically 

In the first half of this episode we explore new research into public opinion around polygenic embryo screening. This technology allows people undergoing IVF to see what genes each potential embryo has and then choose to reimplant the one with the ‘best' genetic make-up. But is it wise or healthy for parents to be able to effectively choose their child's hair colour, height, psychological attributes or propensity for certain diseases? What do ordinary Americans in a survey think of this possibility, and how much would they pay to be able to exercise this kind of power of their own children? Then we look at a news story in Britain, about the multi-billion pound bill the National Health Service now pays in compensation to parents whose children were brain damaged during birth. Is this a worrying sign of how poor NHS maternity care can be, or simply a sad reminder that pregnancy and labour remain complex and risky medical procedures? And are the law courts the best avenue for parents of disabled children to pursue both justice and the money necessary to provide lifelong care? • Public Attitudes, Interests, and Concerns Regarding Polygenic Embryo Screening https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamanetworkopen/fullarticle/2818674 • The Guardian's story about the NHS's bill for baby brain injury payouts https://www.theguardian.com/society/article/2024/may/26/nhs-england-spent-41bn-over-11-years-settling-lawsuits-over-brain-damaged-babies • Subscribe to the Matters of Life and Death podcast: https://pod.link/1509923173 • If you want to go deeper into some of the topics we discuss, visit John's website: http://www.johnwyatt.com • For more resources to help you explore faith and the big questions, visit: http://www.premierunbelievable.com

Food and environmental allergies are at an all time high. We all know someone who suffers from severe allergies. Maybe you do? Or maybe your child? Maybe you have been to the allergist and have a long list of allergies or maybe you are just beginning to uncover what might be behind your and your child's symptoms. The thing with allergies is that unless they genetically run in your family, there is a way you can heal your body. No one really talks about this though. At best, your child's allergist will tell you “hopefully they outgrow it!” When my child was six months old we were referred to the best allergist in our town. He performed the skin prick test and my son who was exclusively breastfeeding at the time, tested severely allergic to nine different things. Eight foods and grass. We were told his allergies were so severe that he would likely have them forever and it would probably be best if I stop breastfeeding him to minimize the chances he could be exposed. We were sent away with a prescription for an epipen. Tune in to learn how he went from this to all nine of his allergies going away completely and his whole body healing.

Calories you need in menopause are key as your body experiences these natural changes. Exercise nutrition in menopause is more important than ever. The intuitive response to a desire to lose menopause weight or belly fat is to eat less and or do sit ups and tons of cardo. All bad ideas. Make the calories you need in menopause, your guide to wellness. First, let me tell you that I'm not an advocate of telling anyone how many calories they need or of tracking. I don't measure food. I don't use points. At Flipping 50 we focus on a simple formula and it starts with whole foods, protein, and servings instead of calories, points or exchanges. That said, it's sometimes necessary to really take a closer look at exercise nutrition in menopause. But I want to emphasize a few things before we begin. Calorie counting isn't the best method if: You want to change your body composition (tracking macros is a better approach for body recomposition). You have a history of disordered eating and feel the urge to drastically cut calories to an unhealthy level. You're not actually sure how many calories you need to eat. If you go searching blindly online, you'll find a lot of different answers. For example: Take your weight x 15 for a moderately active individual to maintain, as suggested at harvard.edu. There was no distinction between males and females. For my 200 lb client that's 3000. You'll see as we continue that's different from other numbers. Any calorie estimator should take into account two things. Your BMR, which is your basal or resting metabolic rate, and your activity level. So when you figure out your BMR you have an idea that if you drop below that number you're going to risk interfering with bodily function. That's number is just to keep you alive and functioning. For my client that's 1380. Where to Start with How Many Calories You Need in Menopause Before you count calories, we first need to determine how many we need to eat. But we also need to consider what your past has been. So on paper, or on the internet, it's so easy peasy. Then welcome to life. My client weighs 200 lbs. She doesn't want to weigh 200 lbs. She's very active. Weight training and HIIT, some endurance exercise - not much, and a lot of activity like pickleball and golf for 3+ hours several times a week. On a “day off” exercise, she's still very active. Calculations on calculator.net will tell her this: 2381 to maintain 2131 mild weight loss 1881 weight loss 1lb /week 1381 extreme weight loss 2 lbs/ week This is based on her being extremely active, although not the highest level of activity. From the Mayo Clinic calculator, I got 2100 as the average calorie needs daily. That is congruent with the numbers from calculator.net. Here's the problem: reality. Her usual caloric intake has been 1500 - 1881 for a very long time. She isn't kicking up her metabolism with meals or with activity. Essentially by eating that little consistently for so long (while not losing) and exercising significantly, she's likely slowed her metabolism. She's putting one foot on the accelerator (exercise) and one foot on the brake (low calorie diet) constantly. She can't lose weight because she's not eating enough. What's the Answer to Better Exercise Nutrition in Menopause or Beyond? Cycling her higher and lower calories for her active and rest days will help. Most importantly though is looking at the content of her meals. If she's not getting enough protein, shown in studies with peri and post menopausal women both, to be a key indicator of fat loss, she'll lose a significant amount of lean muscle when she loses weight. That reduces her metabolism further. The opposite of the desired effect. Protein recommendations also vary significantly. But the work of Dr Donald Layman, Blake Rasmussen and Douglas Paddon-Jones, have shown that distributing protein in a minimum of 25-30 grams per meal and reaching your total protein intake daily helps avoid muscle loss. The work shared by Dr. Bill Campbell tells us that increasing protein without changing calories at all, spurs fat loss. Dr. Gabrielle Lyon has shared a simple way of estimating protein need - steeped in science - that is 1 gram of protein per lb of body weight as a goal. For weight loss (without muscle loss), that number increases while your total caloric intake decreases. Intermittent fasting can be helpful, for some, twofold. One, it reduces the eating window, almost automatically reducing caloric intake. Even if you have the license to eat, if you have increased protein intake wisely to reduce muscle loss, and you're eating fibrous foods, your satiety level will prevent you from eating too much. That said, cycling your intermittent fasting windows is also helpful. Any time you adopt a strict schedule or a strict calorie count, or carb count, you risk the body adapting and slowing metabolism to compensate. That's the opposite desired effect. You have to fuel exercise. Exercise is a muscle breakdown activity. The rebuild occurs between sessions - if you allow enough time, and enough fuel to do so. You can play with the calculator.net site. It calls this cycling a zig-zag schedule. But it's the same … I'd have my client boost calories sometimes for one week during a build muscle focus. The next week we'd have a moderate caloric deficit and workouts that are shorter and less demanding. Or we have higher caloric days and lower calorie days (as well as carb levels higher and lower) while protein remains high consistently. Beyond the Calories You Need in Menopause: More or Less Fat? Wonder about how much fat? Studies shared- again via Bill Campbell, PhD - say it matters very little and is just your preference. You can experiment. Genetically, I'm predisposed to do better with slightly higher carbs. You may be otherwise and you don't need to do a DNA test to find out. Most of us know by now. When balancing the calories you need in menopause, remember flexibility is key; you can adjust fats and carbs while maintaining essential protein levels for a vibrant health balance. If you want to lose weight and aren't - but are thinking low carb works for you - you could be wrong! Be open to testing for yourself. But the beauty of the science is that as long as protein increases within a set calorie intake, the fat or carbs can go up or down. You have room to enjoy the birthday cake or a favorite seasonal meal that might be higher in carbs, and you haven't blown it! You'd simply reduce the amount of fat you consumed that day.

We all know the debate between nature and nurture. I grew up with a focus on nurture. We become what we want. We blaze our own path. We make our reality. This seemed to work until later in life when, with some help from others, I was shown some sabotaging patterns in my life. A graph was made of my life and especially regarding my work, it showed me start things, built them, then they came to an end. There were always reasons, but the only common denominator was me. But it made no sense to me. I was dumbfounded. I finally got led to looking at some genetic predispositions. I've never liked this idea because I don't want an excuse to fail. And guess what. I don't. But now I am aware of some issues I have and I can now address them and succeed where before I habitually sabotaged. There is a study about the reality of genetics that just blows me away. Let me share it with you so you can become aware of yourself and…stop the negative patterns.

Reporter Ashley Ahearn bought a wild horse from the federal government for $125. Also, with opera and visual art, an exhibit looks at modern genetic engineering of pigs.The Captivating Story Of The West's Wild HorsesWild mustangs are an icon of the American West, conjuring a romantic vision of horses galloping free on an open prairie. But in reality, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) says the sensitive Western ecosystem can't handle the existing population of horses.There are about 80,000 wild horses in the American West, a number that grows about 10-20% each year. The BLM says the fragile, arid rangelands the horses occupy can only support a third of that number before they overgraze habitats critical for other species. This has led to controversial roundups to get wild horses off the open range.Science and environment reporter Ashley Ahearn dove deep into the history, symbolism, and ecological impact of the West's mustangs for the new podcast Mustang. She even adopted a wild horse, named Boo, from the federal government for $125. Ashley speaks with guest host Flora Lichtman about her boots-on-the-ground reporting, and what she learned from how tribal nations manage mustangs.An Artist Explores The History Of Humans Genetically Modifying PigsOver 100,000 people are waiting for organ donations in the United States. Many will likely never receive one, since there are so few available. So scientists are turning to pigs for potential alternatives. Their organs are remarkably similar to ours, and scientists are now using CRISPR to modify pigs' DNA to improve transplantation outcomes. But although the field has shown major advances in the last decade, the technique isn't ready yet. Recently, a patient who received a modified pig heart died six weeks after the surgery.Artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg was intrigued by these recent advances, and looked into humanity's history of modifying the pig over thousands of years for her new gallery exhibit, Hybrid: an Interspecies Opera. For the work, she interviewed scientists and archaeologists and even filmed in a lab that's experimenting with genetically modifying pigs to create more human-compatible organs.In the resulting documentary, which plays in the exhibit, the words from the scientists she interviewed are transposed into an opera composed by musician Bethany Barrett. Visitors can also find 3D-printed clay pig statues and a timeline of how humans have transformed pigs over ten millennia, thanks to selective breeding.Dewey-Hagborg sat down with SciFri producer D. Peterschmidt to talk about how the exhibit came together, and how CRISPR could further transform pigs and our relationship to them. To stay updated on all things science, sign up for Science Friday's newsletters.
