RIDGEWOOD, N.J., May 9, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- The FDA is set to approve meat and milk from cloned animals. Experts discussed the difference between cloned and conventional animals at the BIO International Convention in Boston.
The convention drew 20,000 scientists, industry leaders and government officials to see the latest products and discuss progress in efforts to:
-- find cures for major diseases,
-- find good substitutes for oil-based plastics and fuels,
-- and provide disease-resistant, genetically engineered crops as well
as cloned animals to improve food supplies.
