Some people avoid meat because it involves killing animals. Other people love meat. They can't get enough. I like meat. Pork chops, steaks... I love hamburger. (Correspondent) You might not have thought about it, but that hamburger that he's about to put in his mouth, it's inefficient to produce. (Author) ...because of all the water, grains, chemicals, fertilizers, everything it took to turn grass into cows and cows into meat, and get the meat to your house. That's a lot of energy and a lot of waste. (University of Maryland) What we're doing here is cloning, effectively, the muscle cells from the farm animal. Cloning meat? That's right. Who's going to eat that? As long as it wasn't poisonous, I'd give it a try. If I can't tell the difference, of course I'd eat it.
As long as it tastes the same. If you start out a chicken cell, it should taste like chicken. Then again, doesn't everything. In vitro meaning? You got a piece? Editors.

With rapid developments in the biological sciences, science educators and professionals need easy access to expertise, current information, technology, and professional development. Through its education programs, the Venter Institute provides a broad-based community resource for science, math, and technology education for students of all ages. The Venter Institute's team of science educators promotes "learning by doing" in the sciences and provides ample opportunities for individual discovery.
Along the way, students are encouraged to explore the wonder and potential of the natural world, to consider science as a potential career, and to understand how scientific concepts apply to everyday life.

Life's Greatest Miracle PBS Airdate: November 20, 2001 NARRATOR: People do all sorts of things to get attention.
And why? It may be the last thing on his mind, but this man's body is working toward this. Whether we're thinking about it or not, our bodies want to make babies. But as ordinary as it seems, creating a new human being is no simple feat. How did you do it? Today, we can look closer than ever before: into the womb, into a cell, into the essence of life itself. NARRATOR: You might think all the people on this beach are just working on their suntans. Why is this urge so universal? DNA has run the show for more than four billion years for one main reason: it's very good at making copies of itself. If you're a bacterium, you might be into cloning—making exact replicas of yourself. It can also be dangerous. If humans were all clones, everyone would have the exact same immune system, and one successful parasite could wipe us all out.
Where there's sex, there's variety. Cracking the Code of Life | Watch the Program Here. Cracking the Code of Life PBS Airdate: April 17, 2001 ROBERT KRULWICH: When I look at this—and these are the three billion chemical letters, instructions for a human being—my eyes glaze over. But when scientist Eric Lander looks at this he sees stories. ERIC LANDER (Whitehead Institute/MIT): The genome is a storybook that's been edited for a couple billion years. ROBERT KRULWICH: This is the story of one of the greatest scientific adventures ever, and at the heart of it is a small, very powerful molecule, DNA.
For the past ten years, scientists all over the world have been painstakingly trying to read the tiny instructions buried inside our DNA. J. FRANCIS COLLINS (National Human Genome Research Institute): This is the ultimate imaginable thing that one could do scientifically...is to go and look at our own instruction book and then try to figure out what it's telling us. ROBERT KRULWICH: And what it's telling us is so surprising and so strange and so unexpected. I'm Robert Krulwich.
