The first of them was called Dolly. It was in 1997 and the world discovered clones. Since this cloned sheep, other clones have been designed by researchers. In France, for example, the INRA (National Institute for Agricultural Research) has designed around thirty cows, genetic copies of each other. Laboratory animals on which, in France, only scientific experimentation is permitted. But elsewhere in the world, such as in the United States or Brazil, commercial production of these clones has been authorized. And above all, their consumption. What about in Europe? Do we eat cloned meat without knowing it? Do we have the means to avoid it? Other animals are genetically modified to improve their performance. For example, in Canada, a private company breeds transgenic salmon. They grow three times faster than normal salmon. Are these innovations a step forward or do they pose a risk to humans? Are we on the verge of a revolution in our plates? Directed in 2016 by DOROTHÉE FRÉNOT
