Position - Cloned Meat

In recent discussions of cloned meat, a controversial issue has been risen whether to inform the public of their sales in the markets or not. On the other hand, some argue that meat which is cloned for selling is an abomination of science. Cloned life; artificial life is something that should not be taken lightly. From this perspective, people feel that meat which is grown in a Petri disk is unsettling. An animal that is consumed by the masses, which is born unnaturally, and created in a lab is disturbing. The idea that an individual is able to tinker with the genetics of an animal and then process it for people to consume, churns my stomach as a writer. There should be a label of what you are eating and where the product is coming from. Just as the mystery meat in the nightmarish days of middle school haunts us, moreover the everyday reality of “fake meat” at the supermarket is hell.
