This Cow Is Certified Sane

Somebody else does have some common sense! Jean Halloran, director of the Consumer Policy Institute in New York:

"This is a profoundly wrongheaded approach to the problem," she said of the cloning research. "Especially when there's a much easier solution, which is that you stop feeding contaminated feed to animals that they weren't meant to have in the first place. Cows are vegetarians."

Experiments are underway to produce a cloned cow that is absolutely free of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease. Critics have another suggestion: Stop giving cattle the feed that probably causes the disease.
