According to researchers at the University of Missouri at Columbia, pigs have been cloned to modify their meat and make them as healthy to eat as fish. The idea is to genetically alter the levels of omega-3 fatty acids. Previously, the only way to enrich livestock with these benefits was through supplementing their feed with expensive fish meal. Even if the quest for FDA approval never comes about, the cloning of pigs is important because they are bigger in size and more sedentary than rats, which makes experimenting on them more realistic when searching for answers to human problems like cardiovascular disease. Cloned pigs may also make good organ donors, which would solve the worldwide organ shortage. Currently, they are used as a bridge to transplantation, buying time for patients to find human organs like livers. What is Omega-3 Fatty Acid? Omega-3 is a natural oil that fights heart disease and various immune disorders. It is generally found in fish and plants.

	What is Cloning? 3/29/06. Cloning is an umbrella term by scientists used to describe different processes for the duplication of biological material. Three types of cloning technologies are: therapeutic cloning, recombinant DNA technology or DNA cloning, and reproductive cloning. Recombinant DNA Technology or DNA Cloning Also called gene cloning or molecular cloning, this process transfers a DNA fragment from one organism to a self-replicating genetic element such as a bacterial plasmid. The DNA is then propagated in a foreign host cell. Reproductive Cloning Production of the genetic twin of another organism. Dolly, the sheep, was created this way. Therapeutic Cloning Also known as "embryo cloning." The goal is the production of human embryos for use in research, not to create cloned humans. The idea is to harvest stem cells that can be used to study human development and treat disease. What are the Scientific and Ethical Implications of Cloning? What are the Risks of Cloning? Expensive and inefficient. Resources: ORNL.gov
