Human cloning and stem cell research are often topics that come to many people's minds when talking about genetic enhancement, but genetic engineered food also plays a role in this.  Due to lack of genetically engineered food being produced prices on wheat have gone up, which has effected people all over, creating pressure on "governments, food companies and consumers" to relieve their resistant views against genetically engineered crops.  

"Religion a Prominent Cloned-Food Issue"

Religion, in doubt, plays a huge factor in many people's views on cloning in general.  But, with the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) becoming closer to approving using cloned animals for human consumption, the questions surrounding whether this is a wise and ethical choice becomes even more important.  With the approval and legalization from the FDA, cloning farm animals has the potential to feed many more people than possible now with limited resources. Although cloning farm animals could benefit many hungry and needy people, there are some ethical implications that religions are having a hard time with.

Some argue that it violates their religious doctrines, however, I would argue that one of the most common backbones to many religions is to "help thy neighbor," and reduce suffering if possible.  Wouldn't it be going against religious doctrine to not help these people?  Of course, there is no guarantee that the production of producing cloned animals would for sure provide food to everyone, but with so many people around the world (especially in impoverished countries) in need I think it's worse a chance.
