The public should oppose food from cloned animals

Cloning scientists have acknowledged that genetic abnormalities are common in clones, yet FDA failed to address how food safety and animal welfare concerns could be managed if cloning is widely adopted by the livestock industry. Some of the health and safety problems in animal cloning include:

Surrogate mothers are treated with high doses of hormones; clones are often born with severely compromised immune systems and frequently receive massive doses of antibiotics. This opens an avenue for large amounts of veterinary pharmaceuticals to enter the human food supply. Imbalances in clones? Hormone, protein and/or fat levels could compromise the quality and safety of meat and milk. The National Academy of Sciences warned that commercialization of cloned livestock for food production could increase the incidence of food-born illnesses, such as E. coli infections. Cloning commonly results in high failure rates and defects such as intestinal blockages, diabetes, shortened tendons, deformed feet, weakened immune systems, dysfunctional hearts, brains,livers, and kidneys, respiratory distress, and circulatory problems.

Where’s the “real” science? Why isn’t America’s voice being heard? Sick animals don’t lie. Oppose food from cloned animals — FDA docket #2003N-0573.
