Call for papers: Special Issue on Will Cultured Meat and Fish Save Nonhuman Animals? On Promises and Perils of Consuming Animal Cells for Food
Guest Editor: Arianna Ferrari
Submission deadline: 1 February 2025

The possibility of cultivating animal cells in the laboratory and using them for food products has long been discussed in the scientific literature, but only recently has it become a viable option as some products have entered the market. Cultured meat and fish can reduce the number of animals used for food, are associated with less soil and water consumption, and have been described by some as facilitating a "moral revolution" in overcoming animal exploitation.

For the most part, the debate about cultured meat and animal ethics has focused on whether this innovation is morally permissible or even effective and efficient, without considering the details of cell extraction and its impact on animals, as well as broader issues related to how this innovation will affect the concrete lives of the animals used. With this special issue, we would like to highlight the practical aspects associated with the use of animals for the production of cultured meat and fish, the animal welfare issues, and possible scenarios of coexistence with humans and animals in a farmed meat and fish economy.

This special issue of Journal of Applied Animal Ethics Research welcomes commentaries, original research or review articles and perspectives contributions regarding the ethics of cultivating animal cells for food products. Contributions that take up the question about the interests of individual animals themselves are very welcomed, but we are equally interested in contributions that explore the ethics of cultivating animal cells for food products from a variety of perspectives and theoretical frameworks. Contributions are welcome from a broad range of disciplines, including (but not limited to) humanities, social science, law, and veterinary and other natural science, both from academics and from people directly involved and faced daily with ethically-based choices in their activity in the field.
