FDA Set to Approve Sale of Meat and Milk from Cloned *******
The Food and **** Administration first proposed that it might permit the sale of milk and meat from cloned ******* in 2003, resulting in public reaction that has run the gamut from interest to horror. Now the FDA, citing new data, expects to give its stamp of approval by the end of this year. Stephen F. Sundlof, the FDA's chief of veterinary medicine responsible for the agency's risk assessment, maintains that "food from cloned ******* is as safe as the food we eat every day." But the FDA has never published the complete scientific studies it says support that claim. Proponents claim that cloning will improve upon the consistency and quality currently available. However, there is significant concern that the public will reject such products. According to the Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology, a nonpartisan research and education project, surveys show that more than 60 percent of the U.S. population is uncomfortable with the idea of ****** cloning for food and milk.
