few questions to think about:<BR>1) Are cloned animals kosher at all? <BR><BR>2)
If kosher, are they still considered meat?<BR>2b) does it matter if they were
"born" from a test tube or by implanting them into a uterus?<BR><BR>3) If they
aren't kosher, will Chalav Yisroel become an absolute Chiyuv in America
again? <BR><SPAN class=205210014-06012008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<DIV><SPAN class=205210014-06012008><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>These
questions have been touched on in a number of shiurim on YUTORAH, much more in
depth w/r/t related questions with humans. My general take
is</FONT> <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>the jury is out, the
mekorot are sparse, and the final decisions will be more lev shel torah
ones. BTW I'd add what is the status of their natural
descendants.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
