Hey, remember
this story about how the US government is getting poked and prodded to clear the path for cloned meat? Well,
lookee here: some science types have finished a study that took a look at 10,000 genes in cloned animals and found that 1 in 25 were faulty. The conclusion? "
Cloning to create new animals will almost always create an abnormal creature". If the study gets validated, it has some serious impact on the future of human cloning, the use of cloned animals in animal testing, and the ever burning question of "
what's on your plate". The growth hormone and GM debates of the past 10 years have shown us that the food industry is extremely reluctant to label food that's been tinkered with, so odds are pretty good they'll try to go the same route with cloned meat. If you haven't already, now would be a great time to kick the meat habit.
