Scientists have been attempting to clone animals for a very long time. Many of the early attempts came to nothing. The first fairly successful results in animal cloning were seen when tadpoles were cloned from frog embryonic cells.

Cloning causes severe animal suffering. • Despite years of research, over 95% of cloning attempts fail, even with extensive veterinary intervention. • Birth defects, physiological impairments, illness, and premature death continue to be the norm, not the exception, with cloning. • Seemingly healthy clones have unexpectedly developed problems.
Consumers are opposed to animal cloning. •
• Disapproval increases to 88% when respondents learn that animal suffering is involved. • The majority of Americans think it is morally wrong to clone animals, and 63% would not buy cloned food even if it were labeled as “safe.” • Numerous dairies, organic foods producers, and retailers have declared that they do not want to use products from cloned animals or their offspring. • The dairy industry has said that there is no consumer benefit in cloning.

Americans want their government to consider their ethical concerns about cloning. • Nearly 90% of adults think the government needs to ensure that the ethical issues related to animal cloning are publicly discussed before allowing cloned animals to be sold as food. • Governments around the world are debating the ethics of cloning animals for food. • The expert European Group on Ethics concluded that there is no ethical justification to clone
