In recent years, to solve the increasingly prominent problem of the contradiction between human social development and environmental resources, artificial meat has appeared in public view more and more. Generally speaking, the artificial meat can be divided into vegetable protein meat and cell cultured meat. Among them, vegetable protein meat has gradually begun to be commercialized, and cell cultured meat is cultured with animal cells, which is more similar to the real meat. Based on the analysis of the essence of cell cultured meat, we explore the positive significance of cell cultured meat technology for the meat production industry, consumer groups, and the sustainable development of mankind in the future. From the perspective of bioethics, the research, development and production of cell cultured meat can help ensure the sustainable development of human society, improve animal welfare, reduce resource demand, improve the nutritional function of meat products, and provide new growth points for the development of other industries. In addition, the ethical risks of food safety, technology abuse and technical supervision involved in cell cultured meat production are put forward for deep consideration, hoping to provide reference for the sustainable development of artificial meat industry from the perspective of bioethics.
近年来,为解决人类社会发展与环境资源之间日益突出的矛盾问题,人造肉越来越多地出现在公众视野中。一般来说,人造肉可分为植物蛋白肉和细胞培养肉。其中,植物蛋白肉已逐渐开始商业化,而细胞培养肉是用动物细胞培养而成,与真正的肉更为相似。基于对细胞培养肉本质的分析,我们探讨细胞培养肉技术对肉类生产行业、消费群体以及人类未来可持续发展的积极意义。从生物伦理学角度来看,细胞培养肉的研发与生产有助于保障人类社会的可持续发展,提高动物福利,减少资源需求,提升肉类产品的营养功能,并为其他行业的发展提供新的增长点。此外,还针对细胞培养肉生产中涉及的食品安全、技术滥用和技术监管等伦理风险进行了深入思考,希望从生物伦理学角度为人工肉产业的可持续发展提供参考。
