ʻO ka ʻiʻo i ulu i ka lab ka meaʻai o ka wā e hiki mai ana?

Hoʻokumu ʻia ka penicillin, nā kano a me nā ʻāpana kino o ke kanaka i loko o kahi keʻena hana, a i kēia manawa, ʻo ka ʻiʻo i ulu ʻia e ka lab ke lilo nei i mea waiwai ʻepekema kaulana. Kākoʻo ʻo Google i kahi hui ʻenekinia ma ʻAukake 5th 2013 e hana i ka patty hamburger mua loa i ulu i ka lab. Ma hope o ka hui ʻana i 20,000 mau ʻiʻo liʻiliʻi i loko o kahi i-vitro kaiapuni ʻoiai e hoʻolilo ana i $375 000, ua hana ʻia ka huahana ʻiʻo i ulu mua ʻia e ka lab.

Ua hāʻawi ʻo Willem Van Eelen, kekahi o nā mea noiʻi kiʻekiʻe no ka ʻiʻo i ulu i ka lab-grown, i ka makahiki 2011 me ka New Yorker, e wehewehe ana i ke ʻano o ke kaʻina hana. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Eelen, "ʻO ka ʻiʻo in-vitro… hiki ke hana ʻia ma ke kau ʻana i kekahi mau cell i loko o kahi hui nutrient e kōkua iā lākou e hoʻonui." Ua wehewehe ʻo ia "i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o nā cell e ulu pū, e hana ana i ka ʻiʻo ʻiʻo ... hiki ke kikoo ʻia ka ʻiʻo a hoʻoheheʻe ʻia i meaʻai, hiki ke kūʻai ʻia, kuke ʻia a ʻai ʻia e like me nā hamburger ʻiʻo i hana ʻia… aiʻole sausage.

Me ka hoʻoikaika nui, hiki i ka ʻepekema ke hāʻawi i nā kānaka i ka ʻiʻo a mākou e makemake ai me ka ʻole o nā hopena pōʻino i ke kaiapuni a me ka hoʻomāinoino ʻana i nā mahiʻai pipi. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole i huki nui ʻia ka ʻiʻo i ulu i ka lab a hiki i ka make ʻana o Eelen.

ʻOiai ke hāʻawi nei ka ʻiʻo o ka lab-grown i ka manaʻolana no kahi kumu meaʻai ʻaʻole e hoʻopau i ke kaiapuni, ʻaʻole kākoʻo nā kānaka a pau i ka ʻiʻo i ulu i ka lab. Manaʻo ʻo Corry Curtis, he mea ʻai ʻai, a me nā mea kūlohelohe like ʻole e neʻe ana ka meaʻai mai ke ʻano. "Ua maopopo iaʻu he mea maikaʻi loa ka ʻiʻo i ulu ʻia e ka lab no nā ʻāina ʻekolu o ka honua a he nui ka maikaʻi no ke kaiapuni, akā ʻaʻole maoli ia," wahi a Curtis. Ua ʻōlelo pū ʻo Curtis ʻoiai ʻo nā meaʻai i hoʻololi ʻia e ka genetically e hāʻawi i nā pono he nui, lilo ka poʻe i hilinaʻi i nā waiwai i hoʻonui ʻia i ke kemika.

Manaʻo ʻo Curtis i ke ʻano ʻole o ka ʻiʻo i ulu ʻia e ka lab a aneane hemo ka ʻiʻo mai ke ʻano. Ua wehewehe pū ʻo ia inā e haʻalele kēia ʻano, hiki ke ʻai ʻia ka ʻiʻo ma kahi kūlana weliweli. "Ua hōʻoia ka noiʻi alakaʻi i ka ʻiʻo, kiʻekiʻe i ka protein, ʻo ia kekahi o nā kumu nui o ka maʻi diabetes a ʻaʻole ke kō," wehewehe ʻo Curtis.

Malia paha e hui pū nā ʻepekema i nā aʻo ʻelua a Curtis lāua ʻo Eelen e hāʻawi iā mākou i ka hamburger maikaʻi loa i ka wā e loaʻa nui ai ka ʻiʻo o ka lab-grod.
