PPL scientists recently succeeded in finding the gene responsible for the sugar and knocking it out of the nucleus of a pig cell. Their next step would be to extract that nucleus, insert it into a hollowed-out pig ovum and insert the ovum into the womb of a host sow. The sugar-free piglet that was eventually born could then be cloned over and over as a source of safe transplant organs. "The idea is to arrive at the ideal animal...
...that bit Stan Lee isn't radioactive; it's interactive. With the print-comics industry besieged by villains (the rapacious Sega! the Pokemon league of doom!), the co-creator of the Hulk, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four and Parker's alter ego, Spider-Man, is taking comics online.
