To clarify, I mean, don’t they, after inseminating the egg, and allowing it to multiply, split the mass of cells so that more than one animal comes from the same egg?
I’d eat it. Clone-a-licious goodness, I say.
What with all the other garbage I’ve shoved into my mouth in my lifetime, I can fit a little clone in there.
I don’t. Reality is kinda depressing.
“We’re having mutton. You want a wing?”
Modern farming techniques make widespread use of artificial insemination and as such the gene pool for alot of livestock is pretty small now anyway. Fear mongering about small genepools as a result of cloning seems a bit of a stretch. Consider the upsides, when widespread cloning and tissue engineering becomes viable multiple lab strains of genetic material will be archived as standard practice… not left out there chewing it’s cud. If strain A. becomes prey to a endemic virus simply dust of strains B. and C. and use A. to make hybrid D. , no sweat. Ramp up the vats and the production continues anew.
Yeah, I would. Mmm… more meat for me!
Incidentally, I kept reading the title of this thread as “Would You Be Willing to Eat Cat Food?”, which actually I might. I always thought Sheba brand looked pretty darned good, but I’ve not yet tested the theory.
But cloned food I’d certainly eat.
To quote David Lister immediately after doing his own test of that theory, “Now I know why dogs lick their own testicles. It’s to get rid of the taste of the food.”
