Thanks for sharing the link on cloning safety. This is the second post I’v read on this blog and I can tell that I’m going to be coming back for more. I especailly appreciated your coments regarding gene pool effects and animal welfare.

While the consumer may be after a consistent and uniform product, there is not always a consistent and uniform way to produce it. Different producers require different genetics to match their various management, nutrition, and environmental constraints. This will ensure continued preservation of diverse genetics, and I think cloning technology is actually conducive to this end.

Yuck — I never thought of eggs quite that way! Next time I decide the Weight Watchers points are too much for a breakfast of scrambled eggs I’ll remind myself where they came from.

Suzanna: Having read the report, I am quite comfortable in the “sameness”. There’s even some data that shows that there are waaaay more differences between breeds of animals than there are between cloned animals and their genetic donors. As far as yucky, not any more so than the thought of eating something that came out of a chicken’s bum (eggs)

But how can we be SURE the meat and milk is the same? Isn’t it just kind of yucky? And would you feed it to your kids?

Wow, I never even thought to be worried about this!
