eleri, and some of it bears re-explaining.
The technical term is Ben Pekuah
See, let's assume you have a cow. This cow receives Kosher slaughter in the usual and proper manner. Lo and behold, shortly thereafter, a viable calf is found inside the now-slaughtered cow.
Technically speaking, this calf doesn't require it's own seperate Kosher slaughtering, as it was part of it's mother when she was slaughtered, and is, as one teacher of mine described it "a walking hamburger."
(as a side note, a Ben Pekuah would still receive Kosher slaughter, both for the sake of appearance and the belief that Kosher slaughter is more humane.)
This, of course, begs the following question.
If a cow receives Kosher slaughter, and scientists take a cell from this cow and make themselves a clone cow, does the clone fall under this heading?
(The last time I asked a rabbi about this was pre-Dolly, I should really find an answer for this one...)
