FDA to declare safe meat and milk from clone animals

[Fengzi]

The advantage would be economic. Farms would no longer have to support males for breeding purposes. As a result, the price of beef would drop and farms would become more profitable. Economics drives all technological development in the private sector.

But would there really be an economic advantage? How much does it really cost to support breeding males. I don't know about genetics/cloning but I do know about semiconductor production. It can cost billions of $ to build a modern wafer fab. I can imaging something as high tech as building a mass cloning/genetic engineering facility would be equally expensive. How long would it take to make up that cost?

Not arguing with ya Beeble, these are just the questions I ask myself on this issue.
