Isn't it the case that cloned animals still have shortened lifespans?
(I don't mean shortened by the butcher!) And, overall, they do not
thrive? Local news covered a clone dairy. The owner was very angry
about the money he spent on cloning. Most of his clones were only
shades of their 'moms' and, although he got into cloning for a diary
operation, he said that he wouldn't want his own children drinking
clone milk.
My point: we do not knowingly eat animals that are not well nor do we
drink milk from unhealthy animals. Isn't that what clones are? Just
the foreshortened lifespan w.b. 'weird' enough to say 'unclean'!
Am I wrong about the 'unknown longevity issues' of clones?
