Title:ARE CLONES KOSHER?
Category:general
Timeslot:Fri 10:00 am (90 minutes)
Location:ACC / 201-D
Description:When we' re finally able to clone a chicken breast, will it be something that vegetarians will eat? Will it be Kosher? Halaal? Will it taste the same as the "original"? Will anyone want to eat it? Many science fiction authors have speculated about "vat-grown meat", but are we actually on the verge of having it to serve on the dinner table? Will it help end famine and starvation, or just make things worse?
Speaker(s):Sam Scheiner, Cynthia Felice(M), Deborah J Ross, Richard Foss
