　　The United States government wants to know what the public thint its findings on the safety of cloned animals.
　　The Food and Drug Administration says meat and milk from clones of adult cattle, pigs and goats are safe to eat. An F.D.A. official called them "as safe to eat as the food we eat every day." And when those clones reproduce sexually（有性繁殖）, the agency says, their offspring（后代）are safe to eat as well. But research on cloned sheep is limited.
