It's probably all about money, in the end. Once they produce the perfect bull,

they maybe want to have a second one, just like the first, that they can get top

dollar for as a sire. Maybe not.

Subject: cloned livestock-stirring up conversation

WHY? I guess I'm in the dark a little, but why is this even an issue? Can we not

produce enough animal protein sources in this country without having to clone an

animal? As far as I know, it costs less to let two animals 'do their thing',

than it does to clone, so WHY?!

I just think this is all absurd and wanting thoughts from others on why we as a

country are even pursuing cloned meat.

Happy to eat the neighbors' cows, etc!
