Beefy's Corner - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

I think the Government could do a better job at informing people about the evidence about some of these things. Of course there is always a group who don't want to listen and will just give you a load of conspiracy theories. GM crops though, it's exactly the same as normal but doesn't get eaten by aphids or anything. What's not to like about that.

 

I'm not opposed to stem cell beef, not sure I'd eat it myself though, pretty contradictory considering I'm perfectly happy to eat normal meat but something about I just find very... Unappetising.

 

Bad chef?

 

It's probably because it is such a novel concept right now, in a few years people will hardly bat an eyelid.

 

People being against stem cell medical research makes me really quite irritated. I have absolutely no idea why anyone would really oppose it.

 

I should think so, in five years or so when they've worked on it and refined it and it's widely produced then I'd perhaps be more willing to give it a try, right now the idea of a burger made of 30000 or whatever it is little strips of stem-cell grown beef (Which I've heard described as pinkish-yellow) does not have me licking my lips.

 

Nah just the stuff it's made from produces no juices with the meat. Looked like a piece of cardboard.

 

because religion is the bane of scientific progress

 

Ah yeah, it was sort of woven together from tiny strands of beef wasn't it. It'll be much better than that when it's in mass production.

 

"Playing God".

Apparently things like television and cars don't fit the description of "unnatural" though.

I take it you don't know what processed meat originally looks like then?

 

Ummm, hey guys. Big Vic has retweeted a website link with pictures of some lass posing in her underwear.

Way to go!

 

Nope not particularly and I don't want to either!

 

Well I have an idea. Like most things that are fundamentally new, it means possible changes in people's lives from the comfortable. People also often fear the unknown rather than embrace it. Then there is that old ideological caution or rejection based on theological beliefs.

Are they valid reasons..? Well, they shouldn't be an absolute barrier to research, but these people place caution in the mindset of a population, a nation, perhaps a Govt., depending upon their influence. I think I'd rather they were there as a steady. But I agree, I can't see anything wrong with stem cell research. It all seems good to me, so far.

 

It's a strange brand of caution those people subscribe to. In science's perennial battle against serious medical conditions, these people essentially take the side of the serious medical conditions.

Didn't desire to kill kids. It is it's nature. It's a python and they are food.
A terrible thing to happen.

 

Seems that Guly has his own 'fashion label'.
