Organic isn't a scam.

I don't know.

My arguement is that, it doesn't seem right.

I think that the more manufacturing in the food process, the greater it has lead to poor diet, and the epidemics of health that we see today. I believe them all to be connected to one another. I fear another level of processing, and where it will lead to.

More than just cows being cloned for better steed, I think that this opens a pandora's box. It will definatley change the food we eat, and we won't know how for years and years and years.

So, fine, it is an emotive response. This process of where we get our food will be a downfall, and foods that have pressed farther than that prove in their nutritional value.

You guys tell me, is there a difference between helping nature out, or stepping in to be nature?

Cloning isn't manufacturing, it will not reduce the quality of the product.

If you mean genetic engineering in general, it is possible that someone will do something that could have negative consequences. That does not have anything to do with cloning.

I don't see a distinct difference.

Having the aims of science on this tract, I would have thought Viagra for Bulls would have come before cloning them.

Do Cows not have the ability to reproduce on their own?

Trying to have a stranglehold on nature will not work out for human kind.

Science can clone one "perfect" cow 50 times and impregnate 50 different cows with their one "perfect" cow rather than waiting for one cow and one bull to do it one cow at a time.

And that's only one benefit.

clones

one i REALY doubt the goverment will try cloning off hundreds of cows we will end up eating untill it isnt so expensive to clone. 2 its less like making a EXACT copy and looking how the cows built then using the molecules the machines given it builds it to fit to the cow as best it can. so theres no disease. also there will be no in 5years clones give a disease thing. ether it comes now the goverment finds it in thier test subjects or theres a mass of people who stop eating it. also stop putting religion in with this the goverment has nothing to do with religion today so put a REAL reason.
