How 'Bout We Clone The Consumer Instead?

If you're a night owl like me, this is exactly the time of night (if you're in the same time zone I am) when your brain is most alive. And if you're like me, you wish you could just nod your head and fall asleep, without thinking of counting sheep, or cows. Guess what! Tonight there's one more thing you can think about as you slowly doze off. Think about that warm milk you just had to get yourself all cozy and relaxed.... in a few years, you just might be drinking milk from a cloned cow.

FDA gives approval to cloned meat, milk

Public should fight cloned food, says consumer group

I don't know about you, I'm not that keen on consuming anything from any cloned animal. Why in heaven's name would we need to do this? With all the problems that dairy has been associated with the past few years, you'd think we'd be better off consuming LESS milk than more. I tell you what, how about instead of cloning animals to produce more dairy, how about we find people who will actually consume said dairy from cloned animals, and clone them instead?
