The issue with cloning of human embryos is essentially an ethical one and deciding on how to deal with embryos not destined for propagation in the ordinary sense. This is not the case with genetically modified foods. The latter could be dangerous, spread disease or have other unforeseen consequences. These are hardly the consequences one worries about when dealing with human embryos. > K. F.
