Is it crabism to eat artificially cultivated human meat?I asked an expert

"GIZ ASKS" hears experts about the questions that are anxious.The theme this time is culture meat, and human flesh.At present, even cultured meat is still far from spread, but if human meat is cultured, it is a lab grown meat, but is it a human being, that is, a crabism?We asked seven people, including writers, researchers, or experienced people who had to eat human meat.

Eating dead humans and inability to separate living humans is an unpleasant border between human meat and eating other animal muscle tissue.Cow babies, just like beef, pork, pork, human meat should be just human meat, but they don't think they are eating thigh meat, but think they are eating their thighs.。

So what about consuming a clone -ized lab grown human meat?This idea itself is fiction (specifically, Brandon Cronenberg's 2013 science fiction horror "Anti Viral"), and the future that can be realized is still ahead.But is eating a cloned human tissue strictly interpreted and a crabism?

The assumption is, what about human flesh cultivated without human donors on genes?Even the meat of the animal raised in the lab has not yet reached its goal.As of this summer, the meat grown in the lab is made from real fetal serum.

Plant protein food venture companies Hampton Creek argue that they are trying to approach meat cells from plant databases.Mark Post, co -founder of Mosa Meat, who produced artificial meat burgers for the first time, said Gizmodo, and researchers were "harmless cells" for cells that were sampled from various types.He told me while trying to try it."In my prediction, it gradually moves into an animal -free meat production method, but so far it can not be realized without genetic technology at this stage."

In any case, imagine that the calf muscles of humans raised in the laboratory appear in the Petri dish without having to cover the human fetus.Is it a crab rhythm to eat a cultured human flesh hamburger?Or is it just a hamburger?

It's a missing ethics problem.

William Miller: Author of The Anatomy of Disgust, a lawyer, and an expert in Iceland.

In my opinion, real crabs will be shocked to eat such silly things.Crabs have to eat, want to eat, or have to eat meat from real human beings.We call it a crab.I believe that there are at least two types of crabism recorded in anthropological literature.The first is to take in the enemies of the enemy, and it is a wartime practice practiced by various people.The other is to eat your relatives as a religious benefit, which is rather ritual (like a Brazilian Wari).In either case, eating human flesh feels like there is a reason, not a kind of cheap thrill, right?The human meat of this test tube, which is planning to go to the dining table, is cheating in morals, and making a potato powder to make bread at the Pass Over (passover) to imitate the food that should not be eaten.It is a cheating that you use.One of the reasons I thought the question was creepy was that eating it just faced the fact that you excluded yourself from nature.Medical and biological science has become so sophisticated that it has been possible to reconstruct the ordinary in mankind because it has been possible to be able to do it or not.A lot of things in the future, I felt uncomfortable with my heart.I think this question is like a luxury, like a smile.The technical know -how may have been ethical know -how, or it may have been damaged, so these are too boring and missing.It's like.That said, just because the answer is obvious doesn't mean people don't worry about what they once ate.

The culture itself, our most important cultural rules, are basically to control the sleeping partner and what can be eaten.

Social ethics will hinder the spread

Jacob M. Appel: Academic of Biotics and the author of The Man Who Wowdn next Stand Up.

The question of whether the act is a cane or not is the best way to leave it to a linguist or cooking authority.The only concern in the morals is that the charm of this kind of human meat may make psychopaths with dangerous tastes trying to get bone -with human meat.In a more practical level, it's hard to imagine that even if there is no ethical objection, consumers will create a line for human flesh grown in the laboratory.Cultural standards are sometimes the guidelines for reasonable or ethical actions.For example, animals that have been killed on the street may be as delicious as hunted meat, but few people search for roads to catch the deer and opossum that has been killed.Therefore, I am not so worried that Frank Purdue (chicken treatment company) will go bankrupt soon by the producers of the meat.

Animal meat with sensation and artificial meat without sensation

Oron Cats: A founder of Symbiotica, a researcher and artist who works on "leather" jackets based on semi -living tissue.

The question is related to one of the problems that have been bothering me for over 20 years.In particular, Ionut Zulu and I prove what I call a semi -living tissue.A semi -living tissue is a piece (tissue and cells) of complex organizations that are used and grown in technical backgrounds.Opinions have not yet matched where these technical life conforms.The meat grown in the lab is a good example of it, and when it comes to human cells that have grown out of the body, we need to ask if these cells are still considered as humans in the first place.In 1991, Van Valen and Maiorana suggested that Hela cells, which are now famous for their first human cells, should be regarded as "a kind of new microorganism".In an article published in "Journal of Evolutionary Theory", they say, "The species arise in a variety of ways. Hela cells are the most famous human -derived cells. We are here, we are in a particular environment.Seriously suggests that it is a separate species limited to (Van Veren and Maiorana, 1991).If you accept their theory, you can conclude that eating meat in the test tube derived from humans is not considered a crabism.As long as the grown cells can be changed to "a kind of new microorganism".In other words, the cells must pass the cell cycle to X times before they are tailored to meat.

GIZMODO: So, what do you think is the brain derived from human labs and thinking power (semi -living tissue), trapped in a lab environment at about 190 ° C?It will be a different species, but is it thought that consuming it is an action next to the crabism?

Can we create a spirit in the plate?It is impossible soon.Since nobody has yet to solve nutrition into a thick tissue, there is still a long way to grow with 3D printers like many organizations and organs.This is one of the reasons why you have to be skeptical about whether the 3D -printed organs and organizations are human itself.The brain is not possible from the test tube immediately.However, even if it becomes a reality, it is personally inclined to recognize it.Growing human nerve cells without the body will not be aware of human beings.You may have some kind of awareness and sensation, but I don't think it's a human.Clone has a body, but it's not a clone.Clones are also human, just as identical twins are human.Also, let's estimate the future of the spirit that is grown on a laboratory or computer (that is, artificial intelligence / artificial life), and ethical concerns that should be applied to them.Many of the rising biological fields are being moved by commercial interest, practicality and engineering ideas for human greed.Therefore, it may be difficult that such a biological form and our relationship will not be exploited.In other words, as biology becomes technology and life is operated, ethical concerns are seen as obstacles.Interestingly, one of the discussions by the supporters of the lab raised meat is based on the ethics of "let's grow thicker meat that has no sense than killing a feeling."

Depending on the presence or absence of the spirit

ABDULAZIZ SACHEDINA: Professor and Chair of IIIT (International Institute of Islamic Thought) of Islamic research at George Mason University

Laboratory -grown meat, similar to humans, does not come from the actual human and does not meet the standards that were born from "human".Therefore, this question will be close to clone technology.For example, the heart valve is similar to a pig's heart valve (an artificial heart valve based on it is used for artificial valve replacement) in strength and durability.The "human meat" produced in a scientific way is a non -human in physical sense."Human meat" is only human in biochemical compositions.Humans are naturally created, so they ask questions about soul, which is due to the power of God, not human science.A situation like a clone technology can be created by science, but it is still due to the power of the Islamic god to blow in the soul.

GIZMODO: In your opinion, is it not just a human flesh in a lab, but to eat a completely formulated clone human?

As long as the spirit has developed, eating him or her meat will be a crabism.No, rather, if a cloned human behaves like other humans (logically thinks, emotions, loves, hatred), he or she is a clone, as one person.That is

If the origin of the cultured cell is "human", the gray zone

Bill Shut: Author of biology and author of "Cannibalism: a Perfectly Natural History"

Interestingly, this is the second time (and never before) that I was asked in the last three days.I define the crabism as an individual who eats some of the same species of the body or the whole body.This question seems to be a gray zone like eating your finger claws.If we talk about the human cells that have been cultured, I have to think of this as a crabism.

GIZMODO: I told an artist who claims to be a completely different microorganism, because human flesh in a test tube raised in the lab are limited to human -managed environments.One theological said that the lab -raised organization had no soul, and that it was non -human.Do you think the difference is almost meaningful?In other words, if it smells like a human finger nail, will the object be the human finger nail?Is that a different difference, is it strictly a crabism?

If the culture you mentioned grows or grows up in human cells, eating them will be considered as a variety of crabism (gray zone).If it is a human tissue culture, it is not a "completely different kind of microorganisms".Microorganisms are single cell organisms.Since this is cell culture or tissue culture, it is not an individual similar to a isolated neuron or fiber tissue.

It is divided by survival instinct and species preservation struggle

Mark Post: Professor of the University of Mastricht, co -founder of MOSA MEATS, famous for issuing the first artificial meat burger

An adult audience rarely asks the question, but when you talk to the child about the culture, it is a question that often comes up.People have the premise that the crabism is taboo, and it is useless for consumers to understand the concepts even for cultured meat other than human origin.The most frequently asked "moral" question is how the world can change the world, that is, what happens to dairy farmers, land, and animals.

Gizmodo: Why do you think the children's consciousness goes there?And what are the other questions they often hear?How do you answer them?

For children, it is not as taboo as we have passed adolescence.Freud has once pointed out by a professor in German Design Studies that the taboo of the crab rhythm is working to suppress the inner needs of eating ourselves (as the ultimate sexual experience).。To be honest, I have never confirmed it.The children also ask questions about clone technology, specifically, their deceased pets.Psychologists have called cognitive dissonance of emotions and suffering of emotions and losses for living animals (or extreme situations where humans suffer) and dissonance of human benefits.Just because of the name, it doesn't mean you can explain the mechanism, but the characteristics of a general human (and probably other animals) are like a fundamental survival instinct, including a hierarchy.In other words, killing animals for food or approaching a crisis is to kill humans (as a legal excuse, even the word self -defense).The hierarchy itself matches the survival instinct.In other words, humans eat cows, pigs, or birds because of the low possibility of retaliation.

What do you think when you face harsh hunger

Nand Palado: A writer, entrepreneur, and a survivor of the Air Force Distress in Andes in 1972.He and 15 survivors had to eat the human flesh of the victims, including his friends, to survive the 72 days spent in the snow.

First, you should know that the word "crabism" is mostly misused in most cases.What we did was "human intake".Crabism is the act of killing someone to eat.We did the most beautiful act in the world, that is, our friends.We have become the first donor of "conscience" in history.How many people are currently donating organs?As a matter of fact, all Uruguai people are born because of our experience.Can you imagine how much life has been saved?Hunger is the most primitive fear of humans, and cannot be experienced unless it is a really crisis situation.Anyway, there is no room for explanation to anyone.I am convinced that any person would have done the same thing as any person in this issue, no matter what one of the people.Even you.I don't know if eating artificial human flesh would be considered a person.I'm like this, but I don't think that humanity is still different.
