Cultured meat grown in vitro from animal cells has the potential to address many of the ethical, environmental, and public health issues associated with conventional meat production. However, as well as overcoming technical challenges to producing cultured meat, producers and advocates of the technology must consider a range of social issues, including consumer appeal and acceptance, media coverage, religious status, regulation, and potential economic impacts. Whilst much has been written on the prospects for consumer appeal and acceptance of cultured meat, less consideration has been given to the other aspects of the social world that will interact with this new technology. Here, each of these issues is considered in turn, forming a view of cultured meat as a technology with a diverse set of societal considerations and far-reaching social implications. It is argued that the potential gains from a transition to cultured meat are vast, but that cultural phenomena and institutions must be navigated carefully for this nascent industry to meet its potential.

文化、肉类和培养肉。


从动物细胞体外培养的肉有可能解决与传统肉类生产相关的许多伦理、环境和公共卫生问题。然而，除了克服生产培养肉的技术挑战外，该技术的生产者和倡导者还必须考虑一系列社会问题，包括消费者的吸引力和接受度、媒体报道、宗教地位、监管和潜在的经济影响。虽然关于消费者对培养肉的吸引力和接受度的前景已经写了很多文章，但很少考虑到与这项新技术相互作用的社会世界的其他方面。在这里，这些问题中的每一个都被依次考虑，形成了一种观点，即培养肉是一种具有多种社会考虑和深远社会影响的技术。有人认为，向培养肉过渡的潜在收益是巨大的，但必须谨慎驾驭文化现象和制度，才能让这个新兴行业发挥其潜力。
