Meat Culture -- stem cell beef burger

Refer to earlier posts on similar issue:
1) Check out article a&b at the end of the post HERE
2) Meat culture is like the GM food equivalent of crops (See HERE). Both are scientific ways of 'growing' crops and meat using technology instead of traditional methods.

Note the benefits and drawbacks of meat culture highlighted in the article below:
-cost
-taste
-safety
-solve major problems like food shortages, overcome ethics problem of having to kill animals for food (but the use of stem cells poses ethical problems of another kind)

Sample Qns:
1) 'Science can never provide complete solutions to problems.' Do you agree?

2) How far do you agree that science and technology has worsened the plight of the poor?
