So the FDA says cloned meat is safe to eat. "That means producers likely will use clones' offspring for meat, not the clones themselves."

Well great. That whole "natural reproduction" thing was getting to be a little old. And way too much work for producers.

Soon we'll be able to stop having real babies, too.

I can see it now: human rights for clones.

How many generations of cloned offspring have been monitored by the FDA prior to this announcement? Well, considering that this madness only began in 1996, I'd bet it's in the neighbourhood of "less than a few." But why invite precautionary logic into the debate?

"The two main U.S. cloning companies, Viagen Inc. and Trans Ova Genetics, already have produced more than 600 cloned animals for U.S. breeders, including copies of prize-winning cows and rodeo bulls."

Mmmmmm. Trans ova.
