Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 I guess my reservations about cloning have more to do with ethics than science. Often when cloning, the scientists use many fetuses before they can get some to survive. I wonder if the cloning process may weaken the fetus or if the technology is just not that well developed. I feel it is a waste to go through so many fetuses to get a " good " clone. Scientifically, the meat and/or milk may be as good for Bessie I as for Bessie II or III. Also if this becomes widespread, the gene pool may become weaker from using largely cloned animals. The disease risk may also be greater. It is something to be concerned about but right now, genetically engineered foods seems to be a far greater risk.
