Reports said last week that researchers could be just six months away from producing the world’s first artificial meat, using thousands of stem cells bred in a laboratory. Yet there is an even more ghoulish prospect ahead: the idea of eating artificial food made from humans. 据英国《每日电讯报》9月6日报道,上周,有报道称,再过6个月,研究人员就可以利用从实验室里培育出的数以千计的干细胞来制造世界上第一块人造肉了。但是,眼前这项技术的发展更令人毛骨悚然,即食用来自人体的人造食品。 This may sound like science fiction, yet a new technique for making gelatin from human DNA is attracting increasing interest from research and industrial circles. 听起来或许像科幻小说中的场景,然而这项利用人体DNA中制造胶制品的新科技正吸引着越来越多研究界和工业界人士的关注。 |
