If we didn't "tamper" with Mother Nature our corn cobs would be the size of Chinese baby corn.
I don't think cloning is intended to be used directly for food animals. Cloning is intended to produce first-rate milk cows, for example; or prize bulls to preserve a superior gene line. But, I think they need to be careful to preserve genetic diversity in the herds.
I agree that folks ought to have a choice whether or not to consume food from a cloned gene line, just as GM veggies and irradiated food ought to be labeled.
