"In sum, contrary to FDA, we feel the data on offspring of clones are disturbing— particularly the increase in preweaning death rates of offspring of clones compared to offspring of comparators and the increases in the rate blood measurements (both hematology and clinical chemistry) being considered outliers (e.g. extreme values) to increase over time with the offspring of clones while it decreases over time with offspring of comparators. The fact that any differences were seen in offspring of clones compared to offspring of comparators deserves much more scrutiny. Clones are known have much higher preweaning death rates compared to non-clones. The fact that preweaning death rate of offspring of clones was higher, depending on clone source, compared to offspring of non-clones, suggest that some of the adverse health impacts in clones are being passed on to their offspring and so should deserve much more scrutiny. Instead, FDA tries to explain away all this troubling data so that they can conclude that offspring of clones are not that different than offspring of non-clone comparators."
