[QUOTE="MickThompson, post: 5799517, member: 3172"] Every time we make something " better", nature catches up. Glyphosate resistant crops, the products we give our pets to fend off ticks and fleas, etc, are constantly having to be upgraded because what worked a few years ago just isn't getting it done anymore. I don't know that CWD is a strong enough selection pressure to weed out less resistant individuals- sure, resistant or immune animals might reproduce more, but CWD susceptible ones will still be breeding and passing on genes. Assuming we can "snip out" the CWD susceptible gene, what else will we find out that particular gene did? Maybe nothing, or maybe something really important. [/QUOTE]
