To Clone or Not to Clone

Cloned CowsWe understand assembly lines pumping out electronic gadgets at unholy speeds so that the masses can have their toys. But when the FDA announced that cloned beef is acceptable to eat once the USDA has determined that we are “used to the idea,” we just had to wonder. Whatever happened to natural foods? We are still getting accustomed to the hormones injected into our meat that causes puberty in children a few years earlier than seems natural. Genetically altered grain runs rampant. But do we really want to eat a poor animal who has been created solely through scientific means? Should that be considered organic? What do you guys think?

To me, it makes no difference whether an organism was created through natural biology or grown initially in a petri dish.  It still has the same levels of complexity as the host organism, and therefore is a valid speciment of that species.  The experiences of the cloned organism are likely to be different, possibly leading to different temperament or different actions taken by the organism.  And that just further reinforces the point that it’s a complex organism that happens to be identical to another organism, but carves its own path through life.

I don’t see any reason why cloned beef would be an issue for food use at all.
