I listened to a speech of “Leather and meat without killing animals”. The following is the summary and my opinion.
Today, people kill billions of animals as resources like leather or meat. In fact, this is wasteful and inappropriate action. People can make animal products without sacrificing animals by using biofabricating technology. The biofabrication is very useful and have a lot of benefits. It enable to make leather, tissues and organs. We should start biofabrication to make leather at first because this is technically simple. In addition, people can change its quality as they want. And, because of not having to kill animals, it is good for environment and public health. Biofabrication is natural evolution of human.
In my opinion, biofabrication is innovative technology and should be promoted by governments. Because it is unknown area, more understanding of people is necessary. But, it is fully worth being discussed. I agree with the advancement for following reasons.
First, it is sufficient without slaughtering animals. All animals are living being just like human being. It can’t be helped kill for human life, but there is an alternative means. In this sense, biofabricating technology is great from a humanitarian point of view.
Second, it is good for the environment and public health. Enormous number of animals that are only used for food or closes possess a lot of land, use resources and course global warming. In addition, contact with animals directly may course infectious diseases.
Of course, there are some problems of biofabrication. For example, in a period of transition, the gap between rich and poor may widen. That is because, only limited people utilize biobablication and the others can’t do anything. In addition, people who work raising animals may be criticized or are forced to quit their jobs.
In order to resolve such problems, supports of governments are necessary.
In conclusion, the biofabrication is worth being promoted by governments.
