Islamic scholars consulted by a leading producer of cultivated meat say that the newfangled protein — which is grown from animal cells and doesn’t require animals to be slaughtered — can be halal, or permissible under Muslim law.

And the Jewish Orthodox Union this month certified a strain of lab-grown chicken as kosher for the first time, “marking a significant step forward for the food technology’s acceptance under Jewish dietary law,” as the Times of Israel put it.

    The natural order is changing all the time though. Gender is a hot topic these days where people feel they should be able to be anything they want. I don't agree with that, and usually gets downvoted, because it's not an allowed opinion to have. Some people think it's even hateful to prefer limiting genders to man and female.

    So what is the natural order of things… If we go by these books, nothing will ever change. Is that a good thing?

    About a beard, you can also argue that the natural smell of the human body should not be hidden by perfume because the smell is just natural.

    So it's interesting to think about these things.
