The Pros And Cons Of In Vitro Meat

The increasing population of earth is a disadvantage to the world because it is affecting its resources, which may cause various complications. One of the main shortages is the scarcity in meat production. There might be many solutions to this problem but the best and only one practical is the in vitro meat. In vitro meat is developed or maintained in a controlled, non-living environment, as a laboratory vessel. This essay will discuss why in vitro meat is considered as the best solution. There are many reasons that argue against the in vitro meat production, however many others are more convincing reasons that support it. Some of the good aspects that characterize in vitro meat as the best solution include the low cost of the production, its healthier, and the fact that it requires less real estate. Due to the bad economic status of most people, they always tend to choose the cheaper option. And since the population of the world is increasing, the demand on meat will increase as well, hence increasing its cost. Therefore, in order to satisfy the market demand, one of the best ways is to produce in vitro meat. In vitro meat is cheaper than natural meat for many reasons. First, in order to insure good quality meat, a large amount of

According to BBC (2013) the cost of a meat burger is £250,000 that was cooked and eaten in London in an event that introduced in vitro meat to the world. Nevertheless, it is stated by the Dutch team in London to BBC (2013) that as technology improves the costs of in vitro meat will decrease and this is only the beginning of an invention that might change the world. Also, those against in vitro meat might argue that the cost of the labs and the equipment used will add a lot to the total cost of this production, but these are only fixed costs that will not cost
