Thread: Cloning animals for meat?

I think it is fine and possibly the way of the future when combined with genetic engineering.

I think it is totally morally correct, as already pointed out it is no different from farming were genes are selected by men to augment the animal. Aslo we farm to kill and so it is no different in that respect and yes I would eat a cloned animal.

I think that really the only thing holding back this technology is the disgust of the religious community. The next step should be to include genetic engineering together with cloning in farming both in plants and animals to bring food to 3rd world countries.

^^ Absolutely. It's only wrong on a religious basis, but we all know that they're a bunch of kooks anyway.

I'd like to clone my cat and see if the new one has the same personality as the old one. Now that would raise some questions.

Feels very much like the Island to me The film that is.

Cloning humans is an entirely different story...

The real question is, why would you eat a cloned animal? Or rather, why clone for food purposes, when it's radically more expensive and less efficient than the natural alternative? The only reason would be novelty.
