Do u think meat from a cloned animal will do u any harm?

Answer 1

The truth is - you can't find out without testing it.
Anyone is prepared to eat it if it's tested thoroughly but not many people will try it without proof that it won't do you any harm.

A bad problem could be the age of the cells. eg.

Say there was a cow called daisy which was 10 years old and was cloned. The cloned calf [called dolly] would look 1 month old but its cells would be 10 years and 1 month old so it would die ten years early, see what i mean.

you could be eating a piece of beef from a 10 year old cow but if that cow had been cloned when its mother was 10, the cow would be 20 and i dont think eating meat from a 20 year old cow is safe.

Thats just my theory but all the information is true, i just dont know if it will affect the quality of the meat.

Answer 2

My understanding of cloning, which I'll admit is limited, is that they inject the geonone or whatever into a living foetus and the pregnancy continues as normal. At least that's what happened with Dolly the sheep. So what would be the point in using it for producing meat? Unless the clone could actually be grown outside the body of the parent animal then it's completely futile, you might as well produce it the normal way.

Answer 3

Basically... This question can be broken down into two categories.

Atheists think it is harmless...

Religious people believe that it is harmful and just creepy.

I say we therefore should rightfully, give all of the cloned meat to the atheists!

My whole problem with it, is not that they are doing it (have been for the past 5 years.) but that they don't think that we as consumers have a right to know which is which. They are taking that right to know away from us and saying "it is okay." for everyone because we say so!

I feel that something born unnaturally, is weird and strange and I just don't trust it! Maybe it is illogical and irrational but I really don't care. I have that right to know.

That is why I tried to go vegetarian, but couldn't do it... I decided to eat only Kosher, organic meats from now on! I suggest you do the same!

Answer 4

I think that it probably would not do much more harm than the meat and veg we eat now. It is all genetically modified anyway to grow bigger, look more appealing, etc.
Besides cloned animals are still too valuable for the research, we will not be seeing cloned meet in supermarkets any time soon......or I would like to believe that

Answer 5

The whole point of a cloned animal is that it is biologically IDENTICAL to the animal it was cloned from. Therefore its meat is IDENTICAL, so it can't have any effect that the meat of the original animal couldn't have.

Answer 6

the truth is no-one really knows, not even the scientist who are cloning the animals, this is where the danger lies,we do not know what the health risks of cloned meat are long term,it the same risk with genetically modified grain,but as long as the companies producing those new technologies are making money from them, they will tell us there is no danger,

Answer 7

Meat is meat. Cloned or not. It's when they start adding stuff that you have to worry.

Answer 8

no i dont think so anymore than a noncloned animal, but who knows as this isnt a real opinion ...its cloned

Answer 9

I don`t think so but i would much prefer meet from a conventional bred animal

Answer 10

Nah I can't see it as it is still technically the same as the animal that it came from.
