摘要

Meat and milk products from cloned cattle, pigs, and goats and their offspring were deemed safe by the FDA in January and could be available in three to five years. The USDA supports a voluntary moratorium on the sale of food derived directly from clones but already has allowed products from their offspring into the marketplace. Barbara Glenn of the Biotechnology Industry Organization calls cloning "a breeding technique that will improve the quality and consistency of food" because only animals with desired traits are chosen for cloning. But cloning is so expensive that such animals serve primarily as breeders and are unlikely to enter the food supply directly. About 600 clones of agricultural animals exist, and relatively few offspring have been born. Michael Hansen, a senior scientist with Consumers Union, says that data supporting the FDA decision are based on just a few cloned animals and include little information about their offspring. "The vast majority of clones don't make it to adulthood," he says. "There are a lot of sickly animals." Health problems among clones raise concerns about animal welfare and food safety, Hansen adds.
