Cows such as Diamond, above front, who was cloned from naturally born Jewel, rear, could within a few years provide meat and milk to U.S. consumers as the Food and Drug Administration is expected to declare products from them and their offspring to be safe. The public has not reacted favorably to the idea, and Congress wants further study. At right, cell culture work takes place at ViaGen, which provided many animals that researchers studied for the FDA.

This may not cover lifestyle issues, but it may be a moral absolute. I wouldn’t want to eat clone meat. No telling if there’s a health hazard.

I don’t understand how this can be. The FDA makes small biotech companies go through years and years of exhaustive cost prohibitive lab trials before they can even experiment a new drug on the sickest of patients. Yet the American public is going to be allowed to consume cloned animals after “a years-long scientific review.” It gets stranger and stranger by the day.
