Back in March, I wrote about the work being done at a Chinese company called BGI (http://somanyinterestingthings.blogspot.com/2013/03/hand-crafted-humans.html). That story was about its "genius baby" program. Turns out, that's not the only tinkering being done there. The company produces 500 cloned pigs every year. Most of them have been genetically modified so that they can be used in medical studies: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-25576718
