I guess that the FDA recently approved the sale of meat from cloned animals in the United States. Check out the following article.
Your Steak — Medium, Rare or Cloned? - TIME
Although I found the “ick” factor somewhat amusing, I don’t really understand what the big deal is…
To me it is just another piece of meat. A collection of proteins or whatever. It sounds like the ultimate goal is to make meat of a higher quality faster. So I don’t understand what’s wrong with that.
Do people think if they eat it they are going to turn into some sort of genetic mutant? Or is it just the slippery slope? Pretty soon the government will start cloning us all against our will…and we’ll completely lose our identities as individuals…
I don’t know. I just don’t see the big ethical dilemma here. Someone explain the problem to me on a level I can understand. And don’t tell me it’s just not in God’s plan, or it’s blasphemous and/or I’m going to hell.
