CRISPR Fried Chicken: Genetically Engineered Hens Made to Kill Their Male Chicks
Each year, 6 billion male chicks are killed worldwide, up to 300 million in the U.S., as part of the industrialized egg industry A team of Israeli scientists have filed a concept patent that involves genetically engineering hens to pass on a lethality, or killer, gene to male embryos, which would eliminate them before they hatch Once the eggs are laid, blue light would then be used to activate the lethality gene and kill all of the male embryos in-ovo, or in the egg This will likely be presented as a more “humane” approach, but it comes with significant risks, including to the hen, because the lethality gene is likely to produce highly toxic protein that could make the hen sick
