SEND IN THE CLONES.

We're sorry, they're here. As we all could have predicted, cloned animals have entered the food chain. What we don't know, is, will this have a detrimental effect on the human race?

Playing with nature could have catastrophic consequences. Only time will tell. The real question is, the reason for all this additional requirement for food. Over population will no doubt be the box to tick. So we continue to encourage people to multiply, in the case of the UK, on a limited plot of land, by sponsoring the parents to breed willy-nilly, for which they receive remuneration against each child born. Logic suggests that we start by putting such cash incentives aside after two offsprings. Eventually, we could go the whole way and rid ourselves of the burden on taxpayerGB. The concerns of the forties/fifties are long gone; adults should now be responsible for controlling their own family size, subject to what they can afford, not what the disciplined sector of our society can subsidize.

We hope that such a simple exercise would polarize people's minds into becoming concerned with regard to the size of their families.

One of the arguments on behalf of cloning appears to be, that the quality of meat can be improved, having found the ultimate beast. The answer, however, only shows up when sampling the meat from a slaughtered carcass. Evidently, the necessary cells are retained for the continued multiplication of one that passes the taste and quality test.


WEIRD, ME THINKS.
