The issue over cloned meat is not one of health and safety – the scientific evidence examined by US and EU regulators indicates a cloned cow is no different from regular meat. Instead the issue the industry must now face is whether it wants to test consumers" acceptance of such a new technology, given the current concerns – and controversy -- over the use of genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
