It was three years back that FDA hinted at permitting the sale of meat and milk from cloned animals which resulted in negative reactions from the people ranging from curiosity to disgust. Now three years after the incidence, the agency is all set to endorse the marketing of mass produced animals for consumption purpose of the public.
By the end of the year the decision is expected to come on this and would be based on data hinting that meat and milk from cloned livestock did not pose any risks to the consumers.
This has resulted in a petition being filed by advocacy groups which are asking FDA for regulation of cloned farm animals’ one type at a time which is expected to slow down the marketing approval process and there are some people also who are also questioning the technology ethics.
