Could the bloody slaughters of animals become a thing of the past? Possibly: Scientists have been working on producing synthetic or cell-cultured meat (technically known as “in-vitro meat,” or IVM) for nearly a year. The world is getting closer to laboratory-produced meat being stocked in supermarkets globally.
The idea and practice of producing, selling, and consuming IVM is no doubt fascinating and exciting. Allured by the idea of saving money, consumers will probably be enticed by IVM products. However, serious ethical concerns have been raised regarding both the theoretical and practical use of this new breakthrough.
