Don't eat cloned meat!

The F.D.A approved what? Yes F.D.A declared that the food from cloned animals and offspring is safe to eat. The decision was made because farmers were pushing the F.D.A. to research and confirm that it( cloned animal food) was safe to eat.

On one hand, that is a major development because that would produce meat, milk and other animal products that will be at the best quality. The products of a cloned animal are wanted from many farmers and cloning companies as a way to turn cloning in to a agricultural tool. "This is a milestone" said Mark Walton. Although it might take up to a decade for the products of the cloned animals to reach grocery stores in an appreciable quantities. However Bruce I. Knight said it was his goal to make this procedure in months rather than in years.

But on the other, many people are protesting on the fact that they will eat meat that was produced form the hand of man and not the hand of God. And other scientist like Sthephen Sundlof, director of the F.D.A. said that the food in "indigestible" from that of conventional bred animals. Not all farm animal products are okay to clone, bred and sell the products, for example sheep, because the data is unclear weather it is safe to eat.

The Jail System

In our society Health Care is a must. It can help take care of any medical problem that we may have, as small as a cough or as severe as a brain tumor. But what happens if a citizen that has health care in his free life commits a crime, should their health care be denied? I don't think so. They are human beings and just because they make a mistake shouldn't be a reason for the benefit of being healthy be denied.

But unfortunately, thats the situation in some prison systems. they are being deprived from their benefits in jail. The main reason, money. Health Care in prisons is being taken away without the consent of the inmates or their families. People in there are dying from the lack of attention or just for the simple fact that the prison nurses and doctors don't prescribe drugs that the prisoners need.

Prison Health is the company responsible for those deaths just because they charge too much and provide very little in health care. The company lost contracts in upstate jails, but they still have many contracts in twenty-eight states, that is just wrong that someone would try to make money knowing that they are the cause for many deaths. Prison Health is currently a $2 billion-a-year industry that is still in business. companies like this shouldn't be out "providing" a health care that they can't maintain.
