The Chinese company behind newly proposed cattle cloning factory, which is all ready to become the biggest of its type in the world, said that it is looking forward to expand its work to start cloning humans also.

China is not the sole nation working hard to produce cloned beef to enhance food supplies for the growing population of the world. Though, European Union leaders have raised concerns regarding the practice and have taken step to prohibit cloned meat products’ sale, the US FDA declared in 2008 that ‘meat and milk from cow, pig, and goat clones and the offspring of any animal clones were as safe to eat as food that we consume every day’. However, the probability of creating human clones is quite contested across the world.

But, CEO of the Boyalife Group, Xu Xiaochun said that he was hopeful that the process will be allowed one day. He said that his company has been poised to be a leader in what he anticipated will be a burgeoning industry.

Speaking to RT, Mr. Xu said that the technology is already in hand, and if it gets permission than according to him there was no other nation better than Boyalife in making a better technology.

Xu agreed that the company needs to be ‘self-restrained’ regarding carrying forward human cloning as public perception hasn’t still fully accepted the concept. He is hopeful that a factory as the one going to open in Tianjin will prove helpful in shift that view.

He added, “We want the public to see that cloning is really not that crazy, that scientists aren’t weird, dressed in lab coats, hiding behind a sealed door doing weird experiments”.
