    Text 2 (Morality, Religion and Experimenting on You) suggests that the way consent forms are given now is not fair . Doctors should make sure the patient understands because committing actions on somebody blind to those same actions is unethical. This is an aspect of how you should be fully aware of what you are giving consent to and how giving permission is important . The text implies that, “Informed consent forms are now often 40 pages , crammed with scientific and legalistic jargon that most patients don’t understand .” This helps support the idea that even if the patient did have to give consent they still don’t really give it because they don’t fully know what their giving consent to .

    For instance, religious dietary requirements would not have anticipated the production of biofabricated raw meat materials such as in-vitro beef, and this ethical issue was widely debated online following the production of the first lab-grown beef patty in Maastricht (Heneghan, 2013). Religious authorities will therefore face the challenge of determining if these foods would be acceptable for consumption as this technology becomes more prevalent.

Notably, if these foods are not acceptable for consumption from a religious authority’s point of view, then their consumption would be a violation of rule-utilitarianism ethics for followers of the particular
