Question

How do you feel about eating cloned animal?

Answer 1

Cloned animals are developed with desired genes encoding certain proteins and vitamins. In cattle excess milk producing genes and increased vitamin levels expressing genes are introduced. In a long run, these newly introduced genes may undergo epigentic changes or may result in abnormalities in cloned animals due to mutations in cloned genes. These abnormalities may also be transimitted to humans consuming cloned animals. Therefore, though many argue that cloned animals are safe to consume and are by approved by FDA, there is potent chance or risk for genetic changes that may harm the cloned animals and as well as to humans consuming them. Thus, in my opinion, consuming cloned animals may harm humans over long term and is better to avoid consuming such cloned animals.
