If it is the right choice, fear and misinformation are not needed to get people to agree with you. You start this article with the widespread myth that Dolly suffered because she was a clone. She had arthritis because she lived on concrete, in a display barn. She died of the same respiratory infection that killed many other animals in her barn, none of which were clones. The other sheep cloned at the same time have lived (and I believe some are still living) a normal, productive life on pasture, including lambing. If you so blatantly publish things that are not true, why should anyone believe what you write over what is published by the FDA? I am all for people being able to make choices about their food.
