This may sound like a strange idea but it is a real possibility. Scientists have been working to grow meat “in vitro,” or in a laboratory, for many years. You may have heard another Spotlight program about in vitro meat. That program looked at a $1,000,000 award. The organization, PETA, offered this award. The award is for the creation of good-tasting in vitro chicken meat. No one has received PETA’s award yet. However, scientists in the Netherlands have recently made a small amount of in vitro meat. Today’s Spotlight program is about in vitro meat - both its problems and advantages for the future.
