Yep. I'm just pointing out that nature has used cloning as a method of procreation for a very long time.
Aside from all that, HH's point is the overriding factor -- why would you bother? It might be worthwhile to create such an offspring for a champion racehorse (although I believe the Jockey Club forbids this) but why do it for food, when the usual process is so much cheaper and easier?
