I don't like the idea of cloning at all, think it is playing God and
should be left alone. Don't like them mixing plant and animal DNA
either like mixing tomato DNA with cold water fish DNA so that the
tomatoes will handle cold weather better.

I am not terribly religious, but think this is messing around in an area
that should be left alone, crossing animal and plant DNA, etc.

marie55 i have to agree with. we are not GOD. so why play the part?we
have NO right doing GOD's part at all.

Well, if we clone enough wouldn't price of meat drop? Which mean beef
and such would be cheaper and more accessible across the world. All
those little third world countries that struggle dramastically would
have a fighting chance. Which could decrease world hunger a bit. Of
course this is if money hungry coorperations are a little less hungry.

I'm 100% for it, if playing God will make up where the original lacked
will help mankind, I'm for it.

:heart: I think we have kind-of been doing (the idea) for a long time,
by only breeding the best of the best together to TRY to have perfection
in ONE!!
But, cloning on raised BEEF stock, or PORK, lol we could have better
BODY MASS for MEAT, as to thin, or fat in the meat..
BUT, in doing all of these WE ARE "CHANGING" that species!!
And ALL of future BIRTHS with ANY that were CLONED.
NOW, WHAT I "DON'T" KNOW ABOUT CLONING IS,
DO WE ---FULLY KNOW-----"IF" CLONED MEAT INJESTED BY US HUMANS OR
ANIMALS CAN HAVE ANY LONGTERM AFFECTS LATER IN US????
LIKE does a cell in a cloned animals meat, make us prone to contract a
cancer in our furture??

Has the US. government even performed ANY tests to these affects??

That would be MY ONLY CONCERNS!!!!:heart: :wink:

ill use a cow for instance.They take the DNA to create more of the fast
producers.Say a milk cow,allready gives real and natural milk.They are
just making or copying more of the cows that give more milk.Beef,same
thing,copy more of the ones that grow faster and get bigger,with less
fat on them.There for they eat less food there self.They are also ready
for slaughter faster.Cant believe they would change anything in a human
physiclly.When they start adding chemicals or drugs in to them.That is
when physical changes start to happin in humans.Cloning plant and animal
togather,never herd of that happining.I think cloning animals is ok.

In a sence cloning on the farm has been going on every sence farm
animals have been pinned up.We will put this bull,"which is very big and
always healthy"in the pin with that cow,"which produces the most
milk"and let them make a new one.

A lot of good feed back, thanks guys. As a fairly typical libra, I like
to hear & understand different view points on a subject especially one
as controversial as this. I must admit Im not totally comfortable with
the idea of eating anything thats been genetically modified / mutated.
When the decision has been made by our "trusted" F.D.A. and the products
stamped "approved" it will be out of our hands to decide. Consumers
aren't going to be told if their meat is from a clone. Just something
to think about....

The animal-cloning that dairy breeders are talking about is much
different than the "cloning" process we've heard about in
laboratory-mice and such things which are really DNA-extracted and
DNA-implanted experiments.

The "cow-cloning" is just a mechanized form of what we already do now
with selective-breeding, and artificial-insemination. In otherwords,
we're going to milk the bull of all his potential, and replicate and
inseminate using that same bull's genes. Not much beyond current ways.

So, I'm ok with this. NOT ok with
DNA-extraction/insertion/embryo-manipulation.

Vibel - cloning won't make a difference on the price of meat or the
availability of it. The government already pays farmers not to produce
meat and milk and crops to try to regulate the prices of the crops.
This has been going on for years.

I still don't like the idea of playing God, and crossing animal and
plant genetic material. Just my thoughts.

O rly? Well if thats the case nuts to me then. I'm still in favor of it.
DNA-extraction/insertion/embryo-manipulation that is.
