If god meant for us to eat cloned meat he would have just made more animals himself.
Way off topic I am sorry but I am tired of hearing this, seen similar post like this before in several topics.
Speak for yourself,You may be evil, I am certainly not evil. Do not include the whole human race to a handful of scientists.You are calling yourself evil, so why do you care about what "God" thinks or does? That eliminates your "moral" issue, Cause evil people do not have morals. I am really sorry webpirate to use this post as an example, just again really tired of looking at we all are evil crap again.

See, but that is exactly the point. Chemically, the animal will be 100% organic and natural. It is "fake" I suppose you could say... but only .0000000001%? I mean, it's not natural as we may know it, however out of all the scientific processes, this would be the absolute closest to natural as I can think of.

They'll definately be able to tell when they look at the price.edit on 27-11-2011 by satron because: (no reason given)

That wasn't what that quote was intended to represent. If you read the posts, it was more about the taste, composition of the meat than the price.

I don't like eating chicken two days in a row. Why would i like eating the identical animal over and over again? LOL
I heard KFC has so many chicken wings and legs because they genetically modifiy their chickens to have 6 legs and 4 wings each. Also, TacoBell's beef is only 30% meat, so I guess eating cloned meat wouldn't be much different.

Like another poster said, i dont really see the point in cloning whole animals just to butcher them for meat. I am not against eating it, because it would be just like a "natural" animal. Cloning is all about making an identical duplicate.
Where i do see the value is in where this will lead. With advancements in cloning science i think we may get to a point in time where instead of cloning a whole animal the scientists could find a way to clone just the edible parts.
Instead of chicken farms, there are warehouses that grow cloned chicken breasts. Just the breast, so there is no actual animals for peta to get all mad about. No chicken poop to cause bad meat. Just a nice big juicy chicken breast cloned from a prize winning 100% perfect chicken, 100% chemically identical to one you would get from a butchered "natural" chicken.

Maybe they will cross it with a spider next and have an eight legged chicken....
