Cloned Meat—Is It On Our Shelves? Presentation by Danielle Sayles, period 7

“The Beef With Cloned Meat” Article… SOURCE: Scientific American Magazine (via EBSCOHost) DATE: March AUTHOR: “The Editors” Summary… In January 2007, FDA says “food (including milk) from cloned cattle, swine and goats is ‘likely to be as safe as’ that from non-cloned animals.” PROS: yield elite animals with desirable traits such as general good health, disease resistance, greater productivity, and leaner, tastier meat without growth stimulants CONS: cloned-based pregnancies result in more miscarriages, birth defects, deformities, and premature deaths than other methods (counter: FDA disputes this in comparison); over-reliance means a single disease could “wipe out” a whole species; cloned meat could be shunned overseas (example: Peru banned all GM foods) ULTIMATELY... “Considering that the public has already been eating meat manipulated by high-tech means, an open debate might help inform or overcome skepticism about animal cloning.”
