Consumers interested in knowing whether they are purchasing cloned meat should look for labels or inquire with retailers.
What are the ethical concerns surrounding cloned meat?
Ethical concerns about cloned meat include animal welfare issues, the potential for reduced genetic diversity, and the implications of playing 'God' with nature.
