The FDA has decided eating cloned foods is a-okay. No word if they considered whether, in the future, one repeatedly cloned cow would eventually become aware of the existential crisis of being eaten again and again and again and again and again. Not that it'll stop me from eating them.
Interesting compare and contrast: the Post article on cloning approval with Stephen Pinker's much discussed New York Times piece on the components of human morality. Certainly seems like the innate concern for "purity" is driving the no-clone people. Well, that and the trade protectionists.
