Cloned Beef Coming Soon?
An anonymous reader writes "According to this article at Popular Science cloned beef may be coming soon. It talks about using meat within 48 hours of slaughter to allow cloning the best possible specimens, something that is not possible to determine while the animal is still alive. Apparently only 1 in 8000 animals is truly the best. Personally I'd love to see us progress to the point where it was possible to grow just the meat itself without the animal. That would end all the ethical issues with raising an animal for food, potential issues from mad cow disease, bird flu and whatever the next media induced panic is."
The beef would taste like shit. The lean tissue has to be used by an animal for it to taste good.
... I'M TIRED OF THOSE M***FU***RS BEEF CLONES IN THOSE M****FU****RS TAKE AWAYS!
Beef Clones on a Take Away, next summer in a cinema near you!
(i'm not yelling stupid lameness filter!)
My roommates are vegetarians. As soon as they catch wind of this they'll be up in arms about cloning being unethical as well, bah. I eat meat in front of them just out of spite. We've been omnivores since the beginning of time, what's the big deal? I don't see predators in the wild choosing a lovely head of lettuce over a lovely head of human.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
I will forever be a student.
Yes, basically you're a f*ckhead. A ninth grader has a better grasp of biology than you. Filling the gaps here would be trying to spackle the Grand Canyon.

Why is that a good thing? The cruelty's where all the flavor comes from!
