I think that it may back. All Natural and organic seems the safest way to go. Yes you are paying more, but at least you know what you are getting. I think that cloning may make the animals suseptible to other diseases that we can't foresee. But we'll see, won't we?

You're probably eating the same genetic identical steak/cow as me now ^^. Quote:
Humans crossbreed species to create enhanced species, create field, farming aso. Animals just kill and get them. Plants (all lifeforms) do have the desire to live and grow old, make children aso. In the end it's all atoms, food is food, don't complain ^^, take what you get |

i remember during the mad cow disease period, (stilton) steaks were still expensive. Chicken and pork will probably become cheaper, but not cow meat. Quote:
The only way to eat a T-rex steak is to build a time machine, cloning... pah ^^ |

First of all, they're not told that they're just born to die, and they wouldn't understand it anyway. They're like a newborn baby, which doesn't understand what's going on at all. What's the most cruel: 1. Killing something that has already seen the world, maybe even has kids or 2. Killing something a few days after it's born. Another thing that should take note of is that animals aren't very intelligent beings. They're not the same as us, which is probably one of the mistakes you make in your reasoning. Think it over for a bit, and you should realize that this is less cruel than alternative 1. And yes, I'd definitely eat cloned meat. |

At any rate, animals have been breeded for the sole purpose of being eaten for millennia, so DwArD didn't have much of a point to begin with. |

Cloning animals for food is economically unsound. Cloning is a expensive, difficult and time consuming technique to raise animals. Its much cheaper to simply let two animals get it on and produce little animals for us to eat. I think the original poster got confused between cloning of whole animals versus cloning of genes (which is basically GM animals). The likelyhood of having whole cloned animals on the supermarket shelves in the year future are pretty slim. Although GM animals would be quite difficult to produce also. Animals are alot more complex to bio-engineer than plants. Its one thing to produce a glowing rabbit, but its another to introduce a stable change into the germline that will not damage desired characteristics and yet still introduce new traits we want. |

eat cloned animals???
actually did you know that mass production farms clone the perfect plant to make better fruit/ vegies.
what i mean is that they grow twenty or so then the best of those twenty they clone and regrow them in the same enviorment. so in a way we already eat cloned living thigs. but i don't want milk from a cloned cow it would scare me. |

you are mistaken, animals fear death.
do you have a cat or a dog? place them on something high in your house. then slowly nudge them off the edge. how do they react? they are aware of pain and death. you are mistaking an animals trust in their masters as an the absence of fear, which is not correct. |
