In the video, Andras Forgacs spoke about biofabrication. Biofabrication is to make animal’s parts for example, leather, meat and so on from their cell. He recommended this technology because of avoiding waste and wide range of application. The first reason is avoiding waste. At present, people keep many animals for food and making various kinds of items. The cost of keeping and growing animals is very expensive and it is very hard job. In addition, some animal’s parts are wasted when we kill animals for food and item. However, if we adopt biofabrication, we can make foods and many items without keeping and killing animals. The second reason is wide range of application. We can not only make foods and items with biofabrication but also make use of other ways. For example, doctors can cure people lost their parts of body. Biofabrication is making parts from cells so we can make body parts for medical treatment with biofablication. It is very useful. Given that reasons, he think we should innovate biofabrication.
I agree to use biofabrication. It’s because biofabrication is very useful and environmentaly-friendly. I f we use biofabrication, we can make foods, items and so on effectively and without waste. However I think there are some problems to be solved. For example, necessary to change people’s way of thinking and damage of farmers. First is necessary to change people’s way of thinking. Some people agree to eat foods made by biofabrication, others disagree. For innovating biofabrication, we have to change view of people who disagree biofabrication food or item. Second is damage of farmers. If we start using biofabrication, people may not be going to need meat that is made by farmer. The work of farmer may become unnecessary and farmers lose their job. So we must think about the type of business which is competition against biofabrication.
Biofabrication is very useful but there are some problems. I think we have to solve such as problems and we should innovate biofabrication.
