[QUOTE="AlexB23, post: 77655880, member: 450900"] Awesome, we both agree on that, as lab grown meat already exists here on Earth. I only see the ethics of this MAMU as being potentially dangerous if it was used to make weapons or introducing new species on the alien planet. My other ethical consideration is that the MAMU uses a lot of energy, and more energy infrastructure has to be built, so hopefully folks do not heavily rely on this tech for everything. Also, artists on the planet might be kinda angry if the MAMU is used to replicate their work, so a law might need to be in place where microprint is used on any object made by the MAMU that says "Made in a MAMU, on 4/27/2045" or something. Finally, the inhabitants of the planet might get lazy, and if anything were to damage the electrical grid such as a stellar flare, nobody would know how to grow their own food. The bible has a verse on laziness, Proverbs 21:25: "Despite their desires, the lazy will come to ruin, for their hands refuse to work." So, if the Xa'na race, or humans use this technology, alien, or human folks might want to still be working and learning how to do stuff on their own, in case the electricity gets wiped out. [/QUOTE]
