The United States government wants to know what the public thinks about its findings on the safety of cloned animals .
The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult animals
are safe to eat . They called them“as safe to eat as the food we eat every day” .
And when those clones reproduce sexually( 有性繁殖 ) , the agency says , their offspring( 后代 ) are safe to eat as well .
The United States this year could become the first country to allow the sale of foods from cloned animals .
First , however , the publlc wiIl have ninety days to comment on three proposed
documents . On December 28 th the F . D . A . released a long report , called a draft risk assessment , along with two policy documents .
The agency says it must receive comments by April second . The F . D . A . seemed
ready to act several years ago , but an advisory committee called for more research .
For now , the government will continue to ask producers to honor a request that
they not sell foods from cloned animals .
Clones are still rare . They cost a lot and are difficult to produce . ·
The F . D . A . says most food from cloning is expected to come not from clones themselves , but from their sexually reproduced offspring . It says clones are expected to be used mostly as breeding animals to spread good qualities .
Public opinion studies show most Amerlcans do not 11ke the idea of food from cloned animals . But this research also shows the public knows little about cloning .
Cloning differs from genetic engineering . A cell tak, from a so-called donor animal is grown into an embryo( 胚胎 )in the laboratory . Next , the embryo is placed into the uterus( 子宫 )of a female animal . If the process is successful , the pregnancy reaches full term and a genetic copy of the donor animal is born .
