No. Its clear you think the human population can “contract” modified genes from editted pigs. They can’t.
When you body ingests the CRISPR altered protein, it will be taking up the non-natural CRISPR gene segments and using them to build cells in your own body.
Wrong. There is nothing biologically unusual about these genes. They contain the same amino acids as DNA in an unmodified pig. And your body breaks down all the DNA into amino acids . Your body can’t tell the difference between the two versions of the gene . The DNA is denatured by your digestive tract.
And before you claim that eating pork will not transfer unaltered cells into your system. I suggest you revisit just one of the many examples of what happens when humans consume improperly cooked pork. Recall that some parasites (unaltered ingested cells) actually cross the blood-brain barrier, and can even end up inside the human eye, liver, and etc.
But parasites are alive. The pig is dead when you eat it. Its cells do not multiply. Its cells are dead. You are saying that dead pig cells have some prion like behavior, and thats not reasonable. If it happened with “CRISPR” pig cells, it would happen with normal pig cells too. CRISPR cells are not different in that way.
