Wondering why is it harder for females to be clone. Also wondering after 5 years of a clone life it dies. Has anyone hear of a clone living longer than 5years? I know that we eat clone meat,and the FDA hides it from the public. Could that be the reason for most of the health problems of today? Thank you. Take care.

It's not. Dolly was female.
And Dolly died from natural causes unrelated to her cloning (she caught a common sheep lung disease).

Also - cloning is ludicrously expensive and time consuming (for example, cloning five piglets cost £13.5 million, or around $27 million). Why on earth would the FDA (or anyone) want to use cloned animals for food? They are for medical research.

And cloned animals, unlike transgenic animals ("GMOs") only contain "normal" genes that are found in that organism. That's what cloning means - producing organisms that are genetically identical to the one they are cloned from. So, even if we did eat them, they'd be exactly the same as uncloned meat.

First of all all species are female by nature, I would think it would be easier to clone. Secondly, what has been cloned that generally lives longer than 5 years anyway?

What are you talking about? How would the FDA know if they were testing cloned meat? They check if its healthy for human consumption not the DNA. It cost far more to make cloned meat then it is not cloned meat. why pay someone 10k to clone a cow when nature does it for free.

Dolly was Female and lived 6 years.

Genetic altering is best as we see in fruits, vegetables and meats. Turkey this Thanksgiving for example is all genetically altered unless maybe a person hunt one in the wild.
FDA allows this and it makes for bigger babies too. ;-)

Females are harder to clone because according to a recent study males are simpler then females.

if women don't like to see other women in the same dress, what makes you think we'd want to see each other with the same anything else lol....
