Attack of the Clones
The AP is reporting that sales of cloned cattle are increasing in anticipation of an FDA ruling that cloned beef is safe to eat. Personally, I don't see how the FDA could rule otherwise, given that a clone is by definition an exact copy of another animal. If the original ambulatory steak was edible, so will its identical twin. Of course, we must get ready for the deluge of dirty hippies screaming, "Frankenfood."
Meanwhile, I eagerly await my first cloned steak. It has such 50s retro science of the future feel to it. I arrive home from work in my jet car, park in the garage of my circular, all-glass home of the future, tell the robot butler to hold all calls on the videophone, and sit down to a meal of cloned beef and genetically engineered potatoes. What could be better?

As I mentioned a couple weeks
As I [url=http://old.perfidy.org/comments.php?id=P1052_0_1_0]mentioned[/url] a couple weeks ago, the outcry against cloned beef will be all the more foolish considering that nobody's going to slaughter a cloned cow. They're waaaay more expensive than the regular natural-born variety.
All's that gonna happen is that sweet, sweet Black Angus will become more plentiful and delicious, and my once-monthly treat of beef will become that much more enjoyable.
I welcome the future! Bring me my cloned-beef sandwich! With mustard!
cloned, gm mustard of course.
