Considering that AKA_Monet has a PhD in the sciences (biochemistry?) I SERIOUSLY doubt that she needs you to explain to her that clones "don't spring fully grown from a petri dish".

I'm fully convinced that 90% of the active posters on GC do it solely to see their words on the screen. I really really hope you people don't actually believe in the crap that you post. If you do, then I'm genuinely concerned.....

there won't be any cloned meat in the food supply, that would be too expensive, the cloned animals are for breeding only

I see no problem with this practice whatsoever....other than obvious economic factors (we can export even less now probably)

Playing devil's advocate, because I just don't care either way whether they clone or not:

I have a feeling that the same people that don't want to eat cloned meat, would also have a problem eating the offspring of cloned meat.

yeah, maybe, but I just wanted to clairify a little.

the people who oppose this probably don't want sick people to ever get better either, because that goes against "God's will" or "Nature"

That's a pretty ridiculous claim to be making.

Well, I oppose cloning animals for any reason but still think it would be really neat if sick people got better. Soooo, I'd have to disagree with your assertion.
