Newly Developed Skin Made from Goat Milk and Spider Silk Is Fully BulletproofWe know this sounds insane, but Dutch researchers working with the Forensic Genomics Consortium in the Netherlands claim to have just created bulletproof skin from goat milk. The researchers report that they genetically modified a goat to produce milk rich in the same protein that makes silk spiders' fibers so strong. Apparently, the researchers' plan is to eventually introduce this protein into the human genome so that we can all be bulletproof. Don't worry, we are fully on board with your confusion. There's a photo of the "skin" after the jump. Note: We aren't making this up.1
