Back to cloning....I was under the impression (albeit, possibly mistakenly) that cloning would be beneficial to the dairy/meat industry b/c they could genetically engineer the perfect dairy or beef cow and then clone it to maximize profits. So for example, Bessy (Super Cow), produces the maximum amount of milk ever seen from a cow and all the Bessy clones will now produce the same amazing amount of milk. It theoretically would take the "guesswork" out of breeding. Right? Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Personally, I will laugh the day I see "Clone-free" on pints of Ben & Jerrys. It sounds so sci-fi.
