    "a famous Gifu bull known for his delicious buttery marbled-textured meat"


    What? So, there are cow celebrities now? I'm not sure if I would want to be famous for having tasty tasty flesh.

    Couldnt they just use the frozen sperm for insemination? Thats been done for years and is not prohibited in the food supply.


    (Dead 13 years and still getting some. Makes some of you you live guys {cows} look bad.)

    @Curves: Insemination isn't cloning. The female cows dna would mix with the sperm and a NEW cow is created, thus loosing the original.

    @Curves: I'm guessing that the gene that makes your flesh extra delicious is recessive. I don't think it would be good for the cow from an evolutionary perspective.

    Seriously though, they should have saved DNA samples from the bull's parents, then cloned them to keep producing their delicious offspring the old fashioned way....

    @jdmstar: It's been proven by science that cloned meat has unstable DNA molecules that may bind to you if you consume it. The practical upshot of this is that you'd attain bovine retard strength, and a fine matte coat of velvety cow fur. You'd be like Spiderman, except in cow form.

    I saw "bull", "testicles", "meat" and "beast". If anyone needs me, I'll be back in a few.

    Beef....OK, cows won't give a shit either way..


    If this happens with bacon, then we can kiss our asses goodbye.


    Pigs don't forget about that shit, even in death.

    @User Formerly known as Arelar:


    You have no idea. If our entire meat supply comes from cloned animals, then that means there's no genetic diversity. And without genetic diversity, there's no resistance to plague. Our entire food supply could be wiped out in one hit.


    It's happened before to banannas. All bananna plants are cloned because banannas aren't a natural fruit with seeds. We've been cultivating them so long to be perfect that they've long since lost the ability to reproduce. So sometime in the 1950's, the variety which people enjoyed most was virtually wiped out, and the variety we now enjoy is also slowly being wiped out by disease as well.


    The same can and will happen with animals. There's already problems because of all the inbreeding going on, which is almost as bad as cloning with regards to genetic diversity.

    @Elliuotatar: actually one banana plant produces one other plant when it dies. though i only know this applies to wild bananas so what you say is plausible.

    @Elliuotatar: ummm, those little black things inside bananas, those are called seeds. If bananas didn't naturally have seeds, they could not reproduce.
