Cloned Food? Not Everyone Has the Same Opinion

Summary of study findings from the article:

"Specifically, students in Ireland and France were less likely to consume cloned products than K-State students, and at Kansas State, sociology and English students were less likely to consume cloned products than the agriculture students. Participants across the board were more likely to consume cloned products after learning that both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the European Food Safety Authority had stated that cloned animal products pose no safety risk. More of the European students were concerned about cloning from an ethical and moral perspective, while the American students cited food safety concerns. The strength of opposition to cloning was much stronger for those who morally opposed cloning than for those who opposed it for food safety concerns...The survey also found that women were less likely to purchase cloned products, and people familiar with science were more accepting of cloned products."
