Opinion: Agonizing over In-Vitro meat Although we may consider laboratory grown meat as a modern phenomenon, Winston Churchill's essay 'Fifty Years Hence" first brought the concept to public awareness in 1932 [Huffington Post, 2013]. Nonetheless, technological limitations stopped further progress at this time. With the start of the 21st century, a better understanding of stem cells swept away these major stumbling blocks and research started to produce progressive results. Finally, on August 5th
is in the top five of most meat consumed worldwide. This shows how important and impactful meat production is to the United States. In Vitro meat also known as “Cultured Meat” is a quite a controversial topic that should be discussed. The in vitro meat has created a large buzz in the agricultural industry within the last 5 years or so. In 2013, an actual product of in vitro meat was created and taste tested by panelists. The results were quite shocking to hear. The meat was said to have similar texture
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
1. Technology map 1.1. Description of the technology In-vitro meat (also known as cultured meat or animal-free meat) is an innovation based on the idea of manufacturing meat products by applying tissue-engineering technology. The process consists of extracting starter cells of animal origin and growing them artificially in a synthetic culture media through self-organization or scaffolding techniques (Futurefood.org, 2015). The whole procedure takes place inside a bioreactor, where parameters such
issues on both sides of the argument. In-vitro means “in a test tube” or a culture dish or anywhere outside of a living organism. This meat could be used to end world Hunger, because it is cheap and easy to create and doesn’t use any real animal products, but because of this there are also some disadvantages to their use in society. This investigation, will show both sides pf this argument the pros, who believe that we should continue to study these meats and those who believe that it is unnatural
Topic: Lab-grown meat products Title: Is lab grown meat really worth it? Speaker: Logan Sharon Specific Purpose: To inform the audience of lab grown meat from stem cells Thesis statement: Creating lab grown meat is not easily done, if lab grown meat becomes accessible to the public it may have several different impacts on the environment as well as the consumer; although it is said to be much different from your regular patty. Introduction With today’s technologies it seems that almost anything can
Nystatin and Triamcinolone Acetonide Uses Nystatin and triamcinolone acetonide uses a combination of a synthetic corticosteroid triamcinolone acetonide, and the antifungal agent nystatin, in a cream or ointment used to treat fungal skin infections, and relieve skin irritation that results from infection. Nystatin is an antibiotic obtained from the bacterium Streptomyces noursei and used in the treatment of infections caused by certain fungi, especially Candida albicans (yeast). Nystatin and Triamcinolone

Animals are Calling Out for Help Thousands of animals across the United States are being beaten, starved, abandoned, and left to defend for themselves. Animal cruelty has become a nationwide problem in today's society. In the Public Service Announcement (PSA), "Sarah McLachlan Animal Cruelty", produced by the ASPCA, this commercial persuades the audience through pathos appeals, but the PSA's representation of the appeals of ethos and logos are showing animals in America suffering from cruelty and
Argumentative Essay: Is keeping animals in captivity wrong? By Fu Yat Tsing P6Y Everyone loves a good trip to the zoo. Who doesn’t love dolphin shows and awesome animals? When we think of zookeepers, the image of caring humans playing with animals always come to mind. However, what people don’t realise is that behind the scenes, those very animals suffer from boredom and immense stress in their artificial enclosures. Don’t keep animals in captivity, and stop animal abuse. In captivity, animals
available). Make sure the food you choose contains at least 34% protein and less than 2% fiber. Make sure that meat is the first ingredient on the list of ingredients on the back of the bag. Avoid any ferret foods that contain dried fruits and vegetables. Remember, ferrets are strict carnivores! Suggestions: Totally Ferret, Zupreem, Iams Kitten, Eukanuba Kitten. 2. Give your ferret meat based treats or fatty acid supplements as treats. Give your ferret cooked chicken, chicken or turkey baby food
acts on these animals. Major companies use well known alternatives such as “In Vitro and In Vivo” are a few of the biggest testing alternatives known in banned animal testing countries. According to The Marshall Protocol Knowledge Base, In Vitro means “within the glass”(The Marshall Protocol Knowledge Base, 2017). Carol Howard, from the The Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing reports that “In vitro studies are done with cells and tissues in culture.” (Howard,
The “Chicago Four” are four beagles who were freed last April and adopted by families living in the Chicago area. The four dogs were released by an animal advocacy group called the Beagle Freedom Project. These dogs were able to leave behind a life that is still a reality for thousands of other animals today. According to CBS, research labs had over two thousand dogs in the Chicago area alone (Bellware). With millions of animals in testing, the controversy over whether or not animals should be used
“Inside the Meat Lab” by Jeffrey Batholet is a detailed article on the latest technology of cultured meat. Batholet speaks on the benefits of vitro meat: environmental and efficiency. It would lessen carbon emissions and open up land for other uses. It would be far more efficient if the meat wouldn’t need to be shipped around the world. Batholet describes the lengthy process of culturing meat. The process is long and arduous as some proteins are harder to culture outside of the body. Additionally
the same love for meat as me, many different authors, poets, and even philosophers have their own differing opinions. Plutarch, a Greek philosopher from around 100 C.E. had very negative opinions surrounding the idea of eating meat. Similarly, Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822), an English poet, shared a lot of very similar views and arguments as Plutarch. Furthermore, the piece “In Vitro Meat”, by Stellan Welin et al gives present-day opinions and arguments surrounding eating meat. This article presents
increase in meat consumption and production worldwide, animal products are more abundant today than they were in the past. The main factor for the rise in meat products is accessibility, which made animal products more readily available to all social classes. For example, in the past, eating meat was deemed a luxury that common folk could not participate in. In ancient Greece, meat was reserved only for the rich, forcing many people onto a vegetarian diet. During the 1800-1900s meat consumption began
Abstract Meat borne diseases associated with consumption of ready-to-eat meat contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes represents a considerable public health concern. The ability to persist in food-processing environments and multiply under refrigeration temperatures makes L. monocytogenes a serious threat to public health. L. monocytogenes contamination is one of the leading microbiological causes of food recalls. Ready-to-eat (RTE) cooked meat and meat products are frequently contaminated with
doesn't. They say: The meat business is so huge that the loss of an individual consumer will make no difference to it, and so will make no difference to the amount of goodness in the world. Other philosophers disagree, and say: Someone who eats meat is approving of and collaborating in the wrongful acts of the agriculture business, and it is morally wrong to approve of and collaborate in wrongful acts, even indirectly. The first philosopher might reply: Because the meat business is so huge
For example the Humane Slaughter Act applies only to slaughterhouses that sell meat to the federal government or the federal government agencies. Another example would include the Twenty Eight-Hour Act. With the Twenty Eight-Hour act animals transported by train were protected while those who were transported by trucks were not. Although there are laws evolving in the protection of animals they have their limits. With laws having their limits the laws may not protect animals under all circumstances
The purpose of the Female Reproductive System The Female Reproductive System has several functions and plays a major role in a woman’s body. The ovaries produce the female eggs which are called the Ova or Oocytes. The Oocytes are transported to the Fallopian Tube which fertilization by sperm can occur. The fertilized egg then moves to the uterus, which the uterline lining has thickened in response to the normal hormones of the reproductive cycle. The fertilized egg in the uterus can implant into
