Moo!
The Japanese government says meat and milk products made from cloned cattle are safe for human consumption, moving the nation one step closer to becoming the world’s first to allow such goods on the market.
While testing and research is still in a fairly early stage, and it could be decades upon decades before cloned beef is a primary food stock, I’m wondering what kind of safeguards are bing though up to keep the gene pool from becoming too stagnant. What if they pick the wrong cattle to clone and they’re suseptable to some rare disease? Would all of the clones be suseptable? Stay tuned….

I think we should clone the guy who thinks cloned cattle are a good source for food. Let’s use him(s) as food, raising him(s) in little cages, killing him(s) with a sledgehammer and then we can all pretend that it’s humane and we’ll call his calf muscle fillet mignon.
Or let’s keep dumping his brain into cloned bodies of himself, of course torturing him all of his life for suggesting such a stupid thing as eating cloned cattle, and right before he dies he put his brain in another body. Repeat. I think Dante had a few good ideas there.
How’s that sound.
