More and more we are begining to clone animals. Recently I read an article on Yahoo News about cloned cows products being refused by producers, "Largest milk company in U.S. says no to milk from cloned cows" Fri Feb 23, 12:47 PM By Libquaid. It mentioned "...the goal is to make a genetic copy of a superior animal..". Why do we need this? If i recall correctly a historic german leader wanted a superior race too. In the future will we push this further?

The great fascist wanted a "superior" race based on his own personal view of what makes someone superior, with the elimination of inferior ones (or turning them into a slave race, whatever).
Cloned animals are to be selected on the merit of their values to us as source of food. A cow that gives more milk is better for us, but even if it turns out to be a very ugly cow, who cares?
Are you afraid that "superior" cloned animals would take over the planet and enslave humans?
People are sometimes extremely irrational about what they eat. Eat a cloned cow: hugh, danger. But eat a fish caught from a river, a fish that spent its own life eating stuff someone would never even dream of putting in their own mouth, perhaps laced with toxic contaminants from the oceans, and there is no problem.
Eating a cloned animal will NOT affect the eater. Cloning is not a contagious condition. And having more cloned animals is not an avenue that will favor the cloning of people, cloning people is not done for the food industry, the interests are totally dissimilar.

Currently all bananas and avocados you eat are clones. Unless you have or buy some of the other varieties. This leads to some simple issues, back in 1920s or so there was something that killed off all the one monoculture banana we were currently eating. Now we all use another.
Problem one: very vulnerable to a disease or parasite that can kill off a species without having to be general. On the plus side, these species have vast corporate labs that can fight for these plants.
However being able to clone animals means that we have the opportunity to resurrect a cloned mammoth and try to let it be born to an elephant. Other extinct or endangered species could be saved as long as we have the DNA. Course that is just the hardware, what about the software?
But grow clones, let them mate and then the later generations will weed out the genetic problems.
Bigger problem I see is if they let 'big business' own the DNA of the clone as a trademarked product. That way they can charge a fee to grow that breed. Grow corn and gen modified corn pollinates your field, and changes your corn, may have to pay a fee to the company cause you are 'stealing' their patented corn.

i think cloning people is OK
i want a clone of myself
we were originally created by genetic engineering and cloning any way
the reptilian brain in our heads is a souvenir of Anunaki genetics ,who created us as slaves to start with
we clone plant to use as a food source
we can do the same for animals
and what about workers .they could be cloned as well

I ma sooooo sorry to swear, but I am an animal lover and I will stand up for what I think is right so.....HELL NO!!!! it is not right to clone them because you are killing and animal just to create another one. THEY SHOULD JUST LEAVE THE POOR THINGS ALONE!!!!! Yes they will push it further most likely because they think that it will prevent extinction

Depends. If you love animals and care about their feelings, heck no! If you look at animals as just pets and dinner, it is fine, as long as their is proof no chemicals are inside the cloned animals.

it unquestionably relies upon on the place you draw the line on foundation of cloning and relative initiatives. might that is immoral in case you have been to tug a strand of hair and burn it? If same suitable might prepare to cloning, it is not likely unethical.

As long as we don't start cloning liberals. Oh wait the public schools and hollywood are already doing that - nevermind.
