Cloning. No Longer A Scientific Novelty?

I read an article while in the bathroom, obviously the FDA is looking to approve a new bill that will support companies cloning livestock, and make the cloning equipment avalible to the farmers. I think this is great! With the recent livestock diseases going around (bird flu, mad cow, etc), I think it's awesome that we have the capibility of produciing up to 17 clones off of one cow. This may possibly be the lifeline of our country, someday. I'm a strong Christian, and I know the usuall belief is God put the animals on the Earth for them to make babies, but what iif he planned for us to eventually be able to clone? Post your opinions, research, setra setra.

 

honestly, im under the impression that God probably doesnt care. If God cares, auspicious signs will reveal themselves (if you believe in God, of course). Anyway.... i guess its cool... could help with over population... Wish they'd find a way to clone gasoline, though, lol.

is it me or are you being sarcastic?

-i don't really care about cloned animals as long as I don't get sick from eating them and they taste the same.

Read it.

If this becomes widespread, we're skuh-rwed.

 

I'll do that, thanks.

 

they were saying that cloned cows brains arent able to be affected by mad cow disease, and they are doing further testing on that.... and if thats true cloning cows will be awesome

 

It's unnatural, obviously. But I'm also a firm believer in God, and sometimes God just doesn't take care of everything (although he does more than you'd imagine), especially one thing you mentioned, disease. If this is the best way to keep our livestock supply at a height, then so be it.

 

so will that help world hunger?


17x more animals?

 

^ No it wont because the world has enough for everyone's need not everyone's greed. But meat would drop really low though. Imagine a steak 9$. *drools*

 

I think cloning is okay! I would prefer to eat a cloned cow than getting a serious disease! I mean, do you care how the cow lived before you ate it when you lie in hospital and fight for your live because the cow had a disease??

 

I would clone cows for their milk not their meat

 

It would take some getting use to if it happend.. id have to agree with

 

your point is, its a damn cow, who cares.

 

It's good they are starting to allow cloning, 1 day they will be able to manipulate human genes with a cloning process enough to maybe wipe out diseases

 

I'm fine with it. The cells develop the same, and all that. If that's the case, then awesomesauce.
