Personally I see the "scare" aspect of this as little more than Y2K-style hysteria. Cloning isn't vastly different than normal breeding. In actual real breeding, there is STILL a chance of some serious genetic mutation occurring, right? Could this include immunity or lack thereof to a new virus? It's not any different in practice, just delivery. It also allows closer control over breeding. Farmers have bred "prize" animals since the dawn of agriculture. Now they can just turn that control knob to 11. *shrug*
As inBOIL mentions, the process isn't really an issue. These are not genetically modified animals (which the FDA still does NOT approve of, and which COULD cause serious repercussions), these are genetically CLONED animals. Not at all the same.
