Cloned Meat

As we have started to discuss Genetically Modified Food and its pros and cons, another thing to consider in comparison and contrast is cloned meat.

As we discussed, it is pretty easy to clone animals now (see diagram on the left), but some have also raised concerns as to whether such meat would be safe for human consumption. Think about it for yourself - given what you know so far about how GMOs and cloning differ in terms of their techniques and the extent to which the modify the genetics of an organism, what do you think?

The Daily Show has a very funny take on the issue. How is it that one calculates that one in four steaks isn't tasty? Wow, I guess science has all the answers...... click HERE to watch.
