I just read that whole article and all I have to say is...








Mooo!

On top of this, IIRC, the super markets will NOT have to display which meat has come from cloned animals. I may go completely vegan. This sucks as I love my steak.

Why? It's just like its original and still wouldn't go near you.

bbbburn.

i cant believe the FDA approved this. obviously, the basic components of nucleic acid, protein, lipids, and carbohydrates would not be foreign, however what worries me is the genetic content of said animals. we already know that such animals do not live out a natural lifespan, so far attributed to genomic anomalies which force the animals to succumb to diseases and other odd age-related maladies. now, what happens when viruses start infecting cloned animals? viruses are notorious for stealing genomic content from host organisms. viruses will bounce between normal and cloned animals. some viruses are even quite adept at crossing species boundaries. viruses work faster than human technology, and it scares the living daylights out of me thinking about transmissible diseases in cloned animals.

Finally, someone that posts here that knows the goods and bads of genetic cloning. If he just used paragraph breaks every once and a while he'd be taken seriously.

How is that different from viruses infecting non cloned animals?

Because the genetic material of cloned animals are compromised.

time to become a vagitarian. Will FDA require processors to label meat as "cloned" vs. "farm-raised"?

And give us the power of choice? Hell no. They didn't require the labeling of genetically modified foods either.

In your base cloning your beef!

Then why are cloned animals susceptible to die at a younger age and have health problems the "parent" did not have?

It's not perfected yet obviously. Give it time. You have to remember where we were with cloning 20 years ago. Think about what it will be like 20 years from now?

I'm already on the VAGtastic Diet. Mmmmm.

Because the genetic material of cloned animals are compromised.

Genetic material of non-cloned cows is comprimised as well. It's called, "mutation".

"vagitarian", does that mean you eat vaginas?

LoL that's like a car company telling a guy who is complaining about his brand new car having worn out tires, shoddy brakes and blown gaskets by saying "well all cars have that it's claled wear & tear"

but anyway, we're not talking about 1 or two genes, up to 4% of genes in cloned animals are compromised

only after he has a plateful of veggies.

All meat is cloned. Cells clone each other.

 

[vi edit]

File me under the "skeptical" crowd. The much shorter life spans of cloned animals really throws up a red flag to me. Something just isn't right with them. I'll take my chances with a steak made the old fashioned way.

 

[Juno]

make sure they are glow in the dark!

Imagine a cow that produces nothing but Rib Eye steaks, bring on the genetic meats!
