The DNA is just an identical copy -- no different than identical twins or double-yoked eggs. I also don't care whether the the majority of the public is against it. Many people are against change until they see an advantage to change -- whether it be a health advantage, a price advantage, or a beauty advantage. Perhaps it is because the meat will be priced the same, taste the same, and actually "be" the same, people are not expending any energy to support it. There is nothing in it for them to do so.
