Cloning

Ok, let me revise this, should the FDA put on the cloned meat packaging label: "This meat is from a cloned animal"? As of 2 days ago, the FDA said that there was " Virtually" nothing wrong with cloned meat, and they will not put it on the packaging.
"Virtually", hmm, makes me wonder.............

makes u wonder bout like everything u eat or drink...eventually wont we be eating cloned cloned cloned food and milk and stuff? kinda like reusing toilet paper.

I'm tired of hearing "Trying to play god". It doesn't say anywhere in the bible anything about cloning. There's a big difference between making man out of nothing and making a human from DNA. You can't make an exact copy anyway, God's work would be making an exact replica. Not a twin look-a-like.
I'm against cloning because it weakens gene strength. I'm not about to eat an inferior product, takes more energy to clone an animal than it does to do it the old fashioned way after all.
And to those people out there against eating meat, I don't see a problem. The whole, "you're killing a living being" just makes me infuriated. I'll agree that eating meat is wrong when you stop the rest of the animal kingdom from eating each other.

Cloning should just stick to medical research. If you can make a new arm from the same material rejection isn't so much of a problem anymore. (pardon me for ranting on the subject once again.)

I'm still behind cyborization over cloning.

I suppose I can't fully understand what playing god is from any one perspective. It's all ridiculously vague.

It's playing god if you make a new species? We've been doing that with plants for some time now. It's used to produce a more stable crop however.

Or Killer Bees, I suppose you could translate that as playing God. We set loose Hell upon ourselves.

Breeding new species of Dog. Fido sure looks cute, but he's a sin against humanity, goodbye.

Cloning? It lacks substance, don't expect it to be the future's revolution anyway. And you'e just lost the limb God gave you, don't get another, it's not natural. Have fun with a ruddy stump.

See? There's my point, that's why I hate that phrase.

That's not too realistic though. The genes would reject each other I think.

Well, breeding is specific though. That's all outside intervention from a human. Probably thinking of controlled breeding though.
I mean, that'd be mating. How Foxes and Wolves are on the same tree.

Actually, something like that has already happened. Scientists have begun injecting human nuclei into the egg cells of animals. In 1996, scientists injected a human nucleus with a cow egg. Scientists in China have fused a human fibroblast with a rabbit egg and have grown the resulting embryo to blastocyst stage.

I find that sickening to the utmost degree.

They actually used a human and rabbit!? A serial killer is born.

Cloning fascinates me in some ways, mainly for fictional purposes but I must say I don't think it should be done.

People say it's ways to grow new body parts for the disabled and dieseased etc, but people are living long enough as it is. The human population is already too high to be sustained, cloning will only increase humanities needs not natures. I think there is a natural balance and to clone things brakes that balance. I know I sound rather harsh.

But think about it, developed nations rely heavily on computers, when the computers go down everything stops. If we relied entirely on cloned food and something went wrong, we'd be seriously screwed.

I herd that scientists crossed human and chimp and that grew all the way to fetus before it was terminated,  I think they were trying to make some kind of super soldier.:o

That's not a new species.  All dogs (chihuahas to Great Danes) are the same species; they can all interbreed.  As are all chickens and other domesticated animals.  As far as I know we've never made new species of plants.  We just splice plants together, which is a completely different matter.

I have no opinion about animal cloning at the present time, but as for humans, that would create a whole new class of people that would have identity issues and could be viewed as second-class.  Even if we cloned with good intentions, it's human nature to find a scapegoat, someone to look down upon and mistreat.  The problem is not that the act of cloning is necessarily morally wrong, but that human beings aren't responsible enough to do it.

I think that cloning is playing with fire to start with.
And I wouldn't eat "cloned meat" if you paid me.
