Cloning – Know the Facts
I received this email:
NEWS ALERT from The Wall Street Journal Dec. 28, 2006
The FDA, in a decision that could lead to major changes in dairy and meat production, announced today that milk and meat harvested from cloned animals — cows, pigs and goats — and their offspring is safe to eat and doesn’t require any special labeling to alert consumers. The recommendation triggers a 90-day period for public comment, opening the door to what could be a torrent of concern about the nation’s food supply.
Wasn’t it just a few years ago when cloning was a huge debate? And now, its all good. Was it that people were talking without having the facts, as usually happens? Or, were there genuine concerns?
The hot debate going on now is stem cells. Will that be over soon? Are people talking without having the facts?
For all the freedoms that we have allowed ourselves over the generations, we sure are a close-minded people. We’re also pretty stubborn with our traditions and unwilling to listen to the other side of the story.
