I can only assume that the same would be true for Halal, since in general, the Muslim meat laws are less strict that the Jewish laws of kashrut.

My understanding is that the original intent of Kashrut is functional, to ensure that G-d's chosen people don't eat lower quality meat. The question, then would go to how that original intent transfers to an artificially created meat. I would assume it's halal and kosher, but I'm not as familiar with Judaism and Islam as I am with, say, Christianity.

Awesome. I figure a thread about cloning without a boinking joke that references a comic book is missing an integral ingredient.
