FDA to declare safe meat and milk from clone animals

[Beeblebrox.420]

Well I wouldnt be opposed to it if it was 100% safe.

Well, nothing is 100% safe. But I fail to see why cloned meat should be any less safe than meat harvested the traditional way. The only real difference is in the means of conception. One difference of not is the apparent shortening of the ends of chromosomes, called telomeres, but it is not believed that these have any other effect than to possibly reduce longevity - natural telomere shortening seems to occur along with aging.

I wish that we could have improved our systems for slaughter of animals first. It's really inhumane for real. I love me meat though. Cant beat it... lol.

The method most widely employed for cattle, pigs, sheep and other large food animals in the US involves driving a short spike into the brain at a high velocity. This kills almost instantaneously. It is highly likely that the animal is dead before it can even feel anything. Despite its gruesome appearance, it's really about as humane as its possible to be.
