Cloned meat

[Hasibah]

Question.
Are we allowed to eat cloned meat?
It sounds a bit gross to me and even if it was killed halal it still is gross!

The only halal meat we have here is chicken and it still comes from the local Purdue plant.
I have given thought to raising our own chickens...
Any thoughts? I am a bit worried about this.

Why would cloned meat me haram?
Cloning is basically a type artificial insemination - an offspring that is identical to the parent. Also, many plants we eat are clones of the parents plants - absolutely identical to the parent plant.

Cloned meat is way more than "artificial insemination".
It goes way beyond the Quran. If we can eat cloned meat why cant we have cloned organs or babies? Where does the "halal" label stop?
Plants are one thing but a living , breathing "Godly" animal is different. Its not created by Allah SWT but man playing Allah SWT.
