Today the FDA declared that it is safe to eat cloned meat. (see article)

“We found nothing in the food that could potentially be hazardous. The food in every respect is indistinguishable from food from any other animal,” FDA food safety chief Dr. Stephen Sundlof said. “It is beyond our imagination to even find a theory that would cause the food to be unsafe.”

Cloning the perfect meat cow, the chicken who lays the most eggs or the lamb that produces the finest wool would have obvious benefits. How long will it be before we are cloning the smartest mathematicians, greatest artists, and strongest Olympians?

Will cloning the “best” help or hurt society in the long run?
