tk102 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 The FDA recently approved cloned animal products fit for human consumption. Would you eat food if you knew it was cloned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Master_Archon Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I say....Yoda. Other than that I see no difference between real animal products and cloned animal products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Sitherino Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 You know what I said in the chat. I don't see a problem. Ate it once, I can eat it again. Gimme cloned meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferc Kast Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I say Yoda because I dunno if I would willing eat cloned food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 As long as they don't suddenly start following Order 66 and terminate me, I'm cool with all clones - edible, non-edible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I don't think I'd mind, its the same thing, and since its animals I don't see any kind of moral issues with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoiuyWired Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Yes. And I would not choose yoda on the grounds that a cloned 800 year old green hermit would not taste anything clsoe to delicious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper_Kazai Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 ...Yoda. Not until I knew it was safe and had witnessed people eating it and not dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 A clone is not "the same thing" (literally, like some kind of identity crisis) it's just an identical twin of whatever. So as long as the original was conceived without defects, there shouldn't be a problem with the clone (at least at the time of conception). Cloned food would be way more expensive than regular food, so I don't really see the point right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Anyone against cloned food is against feeding starving children. So certain are you? More or less I have issues with cloning because of the intentions used. On the issue of food, well if I agree that if scientist should try to figure out a way to clone individual organs for transplants then I don't have a problem. I chose Yoda because of the sensitivity of the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobQel-Droma Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I have nothing against cloned food, but I just had to choose Yoda. You can't go wrong with answering "Yoda" to anything and everything. "Hey! I just ate this bacon yesterday!" Although, on a serious note, I'm not quite sure why. I mean, why not just let (for example) the bull and the cow, uh, do their thing, and then you don't even have to bother... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serpentine Cougar Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Yeah, probably. But not just for the sake of saying, "Yay, I ate cloned food!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jvstice Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'd eat it most likely, but only if cloning didn't go into mass production. At that point, there is a problem that occurs to me. If you have too many clones, you make the food more prone to disease, since all copies would have teh same weaknesses and strengths to their immune system. Having the potatoes in Ireland too genetically similar are what led to the Irish Potato Famine that was responsible for a lot of the immigration to the US late last century and early this century. Also, that's why Dutch Elm Disease was so sucessful in wiping out much of the Elm trees in the Continental United States. There's no reason to think that the same biological principles wouldnt' apply to animals as apply to our plant agricultural products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Jones Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Cloned food is overrated. Like Picard, we all will eat food materialized from energy in the future. And it gonna be tasty. But yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoffe Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The FDA recently approved cloned animal products fit for human consumption. Would you eat food if you knew it was cloned? I would not eat Yoda, cloned or not. I voted yes, since I most likely would eat cloned food. Not necessarily by choice, since you never really know where the food you buy comes from.

DeadYorick Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Cloned food is awesome. It can solve world hunger and we could finally stop slaughtering as many cows as physically possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk102 Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 It can solve world hunger and we could finally stop slaughtering as many cows as physically possible?How do you figure on either point? We're cloning cows not hamburgers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
