The FDA is set to approve milk and meat from cloned animals for human consumption, says an article in the Seattle Times. The decision comes on the heels of studies that have demonstrated the safety of these foodstuffs. That research is probably right, but no one thought anything bad would come of feeding cows the spines and brains from other cows.
Bioethics may be a bigger obstacle, as consumers shy away from cloned food. But Americans have rolled over like eager pups about genetically modified food, so I can't imagine why they'd have a problem with this.
