Q: Are clones dangerous to eat?

A: The FDA says all its research shows that you can't tell a cloned animal from a conventionally bred one even down to the chemical level, so they're not more dangerous than a normal cow, pig or goat. One French study found that some cloned cows reached puberty later and had slightly different fat metabolism than normal cattle and suggested a need for further research.
