A Few Challenging Ethical/Moral Questions

We will ponder the following questions derived from stories published in the literary magazine, “After Dinner Conversation".
“The Dinner” by Anton I. Botha
Guests are given the opportunity to eat meat that was grown in a lab using DNA from animals and humans (celebrities—with their permission, and themselves).
The guests make various arguments about why eating lab grown animals, humans, or themselves is wrong. What arguments would you make for or against? 2. Some of the guests make the argument “It’s just wrong.” Is that a good enough argument, or must all arguments be backed by articulable reasoning to be valid? Is there a moral distinction between eating lab-grown animals, extinct animals, celebrities, and yourself? Why or why not? What do you think is the strongest argument for (and against) being a vegetarian? Consider the conditions in which the animals live. How does their perceived level of sentience factor into your decision? Does lab-grown meat solve these ethical concerns? Why or why not? Do you think the government should regulate or ban any such meat? Why or why not?

Also (time permitting):
Does a person have an ethical/moral obligation to stay alive for friends and family who would miss them? What about the potential good a person could do?

If you could upload social media, diaries, photos, and videos of a friend or loved one into AI and have an approximated conversation with them in their voice, would you? Why or why not? What are the potential benefits and risks? Would this be disrespectful?
