Guest guest Posted August 14, 2002 Report Share Posted August 14, 2002 JAPAN SET TO LIFT BAN ON BEEF AND MILK FROM CLONED COWS Aug. 14/02 Kyodo TOKYO -- The Japanese farm ministry was cited as saying Tuesday that beef and milk from cows cloned from the cells of adult animals are safe, signaling Japan may lift a ban on their consumption in the near future. The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries was cited as saying its recent study found cloned cows' blood, meat and milk nearly identical to those of naturally born cows and rats fed these substances developed no irregularities. The announcement, following a similar conclusion by the health ministry in June 2000, could pave the way for Japan to become the world's first country to allow the consumption of cows cloned from the cells of adult animals.
