This piece of news talks about the banning of cloning animals. The European Union has banned to clone and/or sale all farm animals. The supporters claim that only a small percentage of cloned offspring survive to term, and many die shortly after birth.
However, companies in the U.S. and China are cloningfor breeding and for research purposes. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration considers meat and other products form clones to be as safe as that from other farm animals.

However, there is widespread public suspicion of cloning technology in Europe, but E.U. member countries deny any agricultural cloning in their territories.
