For the record, this is not playing God. I don't buy that in the least. |

I read somewhere about it being possible to clone cattle DNA to produce synthetic meat.
I actually think thats a neat idea, too. 
I mean, call me weird, but that way we don't need to kill animals as much, or spend as much time and land on animals when we can produce a clone of the real thing. Although that could be more costly, I dunno.
I haven't really researced it. |

I haven't really researced it. We'd certainly need to make sure the cattle had no mutations or anything...that would get bad... |

Same goes for the Kidneys 
It would suck if you got implnated with a defective one... |

It would suck if you got implnated with a defective one... It'd be like getting a tumor implanted or something. Eww. So basically, while we're creating shit, we need to actually be careful and use quality control. Gasp! |
