I don’t remember which one, but apparently the question of whether the genetics of a species define its nature for religious reasons is where Judaism and Islam diverge. One would hold that, if no actual pigs were involved, a potato with pig genes is just a potato and thus allowed, and the other would hold that the pig genes make it sufficiently porcine to be forbidden.
Which one (not) and on what philosophical grounds ?

Interesting. Do you remember which side has which stance?
