So, isn't it better to label so if there are issues-it can be dealt with? Or by doing this, are they covering their butts because they will be able to say, "Well, there is no definate way to know for sure."Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10557328159210112646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12094749.post-48851585516740902552008-01-22T23:35:00.000-05:002008-01-22T23:35:00.000-05:00Cloned meat doesn't worry me a bit.

The telomeres at the ends of her chromosomes were shorter than usual, so once they were "used up," her cells deteriorated and she aged. Bad for cloning humans, but just fine if you're planning to clone an animal for slaughter. (Whatever you do, don't quote my bit of pseudoscience in a research paper. :)<BR/><BR/>On the other had, I think cloned foods certainly ought to be labeled. If we look back a hundred years from now and find that there have been no issues, then we don't need the labels anymore. How hard is that?Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15078027953947411411noreply@blogger.com
