(MIT Technology Review) – The basics, as reported by the AFP: Chinese company Boyalife is planning a massive cloning facility in Tianjin, with the goal of producing one million cows by 2020 in order to supplement China’s meat supply. This is newsworthy enough. No one has made an earnest effort to use cloning as a way of supplementing meat production. As the FDA explains, the standard thinking is that the best use for cloning in livestock production is to help ensure the availability of good genes.
