Is there any harm in eating Cloned animals ?

To date there have been no negative health implications towards the consumption of cloned meat or milk and the latter may already be on the market. However, in terms of the health of the actual animal, there are several poor trends. According to the European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies , fewer than 5% of cloned fetuses live long enough to be born; roughly 20% of new born clones don’t survive the first 24 hours, and an additional 15% die before weaning. In the case of cows and sheep, should the cloned calf develop, it has a higher chance of developing “large offspring syndrome” which is a potentially fatal condition where problems such as: dysfunctional immune systems, malformed limbs, and malformed organs arise.
