Ya must of herd bout da FDA sellin cloned animals well im going veggie cuz dats nasty what do uthink bout this

Question

Yo dats sum nasty junk and sum freak of nature crap and i aint eatin no mo

Answer 1

I think it is nasty too! genetically altered meat Yum! I became vegetarian 10 years ago,they keep finding bacteria in meat,mad cow disease etc. I don't like to kill an animal to feed my stomach there are tons of things to eat other than meat. I have never regretted my decision at all, I am glad.Go on a PETA website to really see where meat comes from-it will open your eyes-believe me! A vegetarian diet prevents many cancers and heart diseases and you will feel better overall, and no animal had to die for you.Good Luck to you!

Answer 2

While I know many people are opposed to cloning on ethical grounds, I see no real health problems. Clones are still animals like normal, just that they were conceived in an different way and have the same DNA of the animal they were cloned from, this doesn't create any inherent health problems.
All the bananas we eat are clones, as cultivated banana trees are sterile and new trees can only be made from cutting of old trees. This is very different obviously, but I see no reason why a cloned animal would be any worse than this. Assuming there's nothing wrong with the original there shouldn't be anything wrong with the clone.

Now, you do seem like a very inteligent person... but I think you may be slightly influenced by reading comics or other fictions. They aren't factual y'know.

@ Reva P. Wikipedia describes clones as 'any organism whose genetic information is identical to that of a "mother organism" from which it was created'. Both the bananas I described and Dolly the sheep are clones. Cloning does not require manipulation of the genes, that's genetic modification.

Answer 3

So, they've been cloning vegetable for YEARS, I've done it so have a lot of other people, are you afraid of eating cloned vegetables?

Well, I'm not afraid of eating a cloned animal.

Really eating a clone is probably a long way away yet. the law is just recognizing that fact that cloning is out there and we'll be eating them someday.

A clone is just a copy, just like I copied a plant, over and over again. The problem I have with cloning is that we'll end up with a very limited genetic pool, and anything that affect one clone will effect them all. Think potatoes in Ireland, they were mostly one strain and people starved to death because of it. Where as a diverse genetic pool some of the animals will be immune to whatever comes down the pike. That's what I'm concerned about.

My opinion is subject to change with new facts.

Answer 4

I don't know of any scientific reason not to eat cloned meat. Unfortunately, the ill effects of something like that can take years or generations to show up like mad cow disease did. For the same reason, many people are reluctant to eat genetically modified foods. I think that the overcrowded, inhumane conditions on factory farms and the pollution and runoff from them are reason enough to go vegan. There is also a possibility that genetically modified critters could escape and contaminate the gene pools of wild animals. A few years ago, I read that they were breeding turkeys with the breast meat so huge that they could no longer stand up, because they wanted to maximize the amount of white meat. Now that is inhumane and disgusting.

Answer 5

Anything that moves you over to the healthier side is OK with me. Then again, if you want to avoid cloned meat, you don't have to go vegan or even veggie - just organic.

See, you do have choices.

For AndyB, the process that you describe isn't cloning. If these slips are attached to another banana tree, then they are grafted, just as with all apple trees. If these bits of trees are simply planted in the ground and allowed to grow, it's slip propagation and it's an ancient method of both agronomy and horticulture. Cloning is manipulating the genes themselves.

Answer 6

WOW your question is at least 50% misspelled. I believe that's a new record.

The FDA will not sell cloned animals. The FDA has cleared them for human consumption.

I am curious only as to why we need to - breeding animals is clearly not hard already. Maybe it's that we want to clone a specific animal with desirable characteristics and it's DESCENDANTS would also count as cloned, therefore this was necessary to prevent the banning of any animals with a cloned ancestor.

Answer 7

I doubt that they are. Scientifically, cloning hasn't reached the point where we can do it without major errors in the animal. Major errors = sick animal = not used for eating. The FDA is VERY strict when it comes to keeping diseases out of food. Just look at the E. Coli spinach scare, or Mad Cow a few years back.

EDIT: And yes. While I respect your right to express yourself, the main purpose of language is communication, and in that regard standardization is a good thing. Making yourself hard to read is only going to hurt you in life.

EDIT2: You might want to consider that is is much EASIER to clone and genetically modify a plant. So much easier, in fact, that they've been genetically modifying crops for almost a decade now. And you've been eating them without knowing the difference! What does that tell you?

Answer 8

sure This hoopla approximately cloning and "organic and organic" nutrition is a gaggle of BS. company farms are evil and cruel, and ethical scientific care of animals would desire to stem from that, not concern and incorrect information on the hazards of "cloned" meat. All organic and organic nutrition potential is that extremely of fertilizer they positioned manure on the nutrition. If company farms basically used manure for fertilizer extremely of processing it into fertilizer, it may wreak the floor water of their section. Beside, the animals that get cloned are oftentimes the male sire. Cloning animals basically for ingesting isn't low in value. So, the beef you consume could mebbe have a cloned daddy, not the animal itself.

Answer 9

i can't imagine it being good! they say that the royal houses of europe had health problems because of inbreeding. well, the gene pool can't get much shallower than cloning!!!! Mother Earth, i am sorry!

Answer 10

Well, meat is immoral and disgusting period. I don't think cloning or not cloning makes a difference either way.
