Organic Meat Controversy

Some of the scientific breakthroughs that have been discovered over the past decade or so have been nothing but remarkable to say the least but now that the impossible has become a reality society seems to have taken a moment before taking full advantage of the controversial advances. Scientists have managed to possibly resolve the issue involving world hunger which sounds terrific in theory but getting the people to follow through may take some time or, will it?

The idea of growing artificial meat is no longer only in the movies, journalist jones interviewed many researchers who are the current primary researchers in this line of work regarding lab grown meat which one day might be added to the people’s menus. Post, an employee at the University

Announced by scientists in, “Breakthroughs of the Year,” (qtd. By Cohen). 60,000 plus genetic combinations are at fault of diseases and roughly half are caused by the slightest error in the genetic code. Harvard University managed to use a genetic editing tool invented in 2012 to go the extra mile and instead of cutting into the DNA scientists are now able to substitute specifically the A,C,T, or G genes. The selected embryos are simply injected with the editing complexes in either the cytoplasm or other parts of nuclei and it is even farther to manipulate the actual gametes such as the egg or sperm. Unfortunately, the only issue in the science world is that scientists have not perfected their art, some of the issues include a group of cells staying their original form which were meant to be manipulated. The National Academies of Science and Medicine allow human gene editing strictly for the purpose of ridding the possibilities of genetic diseases in babies, its stated that anything else is forbidden because of the lack of perfection on the subject. Do not give up on the scientist yet because the benefits could be worth some of the evolutionary hiccups. In this article it was stated that a lecture was given by Dr. Maddy Young from a European cancer research institute with the purpose of informing the audience briefly over genetics

Cloning your deceased pet either a cat or dog is now available to anybody who can properly preserve the DNA. Cloning animals have been around for many years according to the article, “Should You Clone Your Pet?”, but recently people have come accustomed to the idea of buying an identical twin of their closest pets. In a brief explanation of the process of cloning scientists simply extract the genetic material from the pet and make it into “cluster cells,” (Clone 28). Which is then placed into the womb of the female animal to take on a regular pregnancy. Something to consider would be the possibility of the clone not having the same personality because of how its determined by life experiences rather than genetic modifications. For the low cost of about $25,000 - $50,000 USD a distressed citizen can pay for the exact recreation of their beloved pet dog or cat that recently passed away. With the information provided at the website, “Viagen Pets,” anybody can visit and learn as much as they need to make a decision on cloning a pet. The process is explained in a socially readable way for people of all ages and have tabs for client stores as well as blogs and frequently asked questions. Some of the groups that do not support the programs of cloning would be those who worry about the huge populations of stray animals stuffed in humane organizations, animal pounds,
