Ethical and Philosophical Analysis: The Consumption of Will Pork

This essay delves into the philosophical and ethical issues surrounding the consumption of a new type of pork called 'Will Pork,' which is genetically modified to actively want to be consumed by humans. The essay presents a discussion between two friends, Ian and Erika, where Ian supports the consumption of Will Pork, arguing that since the pigs willingly want to be eaten, there is no ethical issue. Erika, a vegetarian, finds the concept disgusting and morally wrong, asserting that animals have a right to live and that using technology to create such a species is philosophically incorrect. The author reflects on the dilemma, highlighting the conflict between fulfilling the Will Pigs' desire to be consumed and the inherent immorality of slaughtering animals for human pleasure, ultimately leaning towards the view that consuming animals is unethical, even in the unique case of Will Pork. The essay concludes by emphasizing the philosophical conflict between utilitarianism and animal rights.

Introduction
The philosophical issue related to the consumption of the meat has been long debate
going through out the centuries. The essay will highlight the issues of the philosophy and the
ethical dilemma that have arisen among the two friends in discussion regarding the
consumption of the new kind of pork known as the will pork. Two of the friends, Ian and
Erika had been in discussion with each other regarding the context of the consumption of
meat, the new kind of pork which is said to actively ant to get consumed by humans. The
essay highlight the ethical dilemma and the philosophical issue from the view point of a
vegetarian for the consumption of the pork.
Discussion
This section will analyse the view of both Ian, Erika followed by the personal
reflection of the author in the context of the consumption of the will pork.
View of Ian
Ian is the one who initiated the conversation regarding the new and the innovative
meat, the new kind of pork that is the will pork. I believe that according to the personal
insight of Ian, Will pigs is made up of a new kinds of pigs. These are generally modified
since they are intelligent so much that they can actually think and speak like the capability of
the normal human beings. These Will pigs furthermore includes some of the new , innovative
and improved features that makes tem totally special. I furthermore believe that, one of the
most special thing regarding the Will pigs is that these pigs actively wants to get eaten by the
humans beings. I have also noticed that it is the goal and the motive of these animals to be

3SOCIOLOGY
Will Pigs and get actively eaten by the humans. It is the aim of these animals to be the Will
pork so that they can get consumed with satisfaction by the human beings. Though I
personally feel that the Will pigs will get slaughtered in comfortable and in a painless manner
and the consumption and the slaughter of Will Pork’s are not a threat to the society and to the
minds of the humanity, but still I have a glitches in my thought. I understand the concept that
these animals are willing to get consumed, and hence there should not be any sort of guilt
feelings for consumption of their meat. It is also an important fact to be considered that
usually the cows and the pigs who get slaughtered for their meat are unwilling to die whereas
the Will pigs wants to die and get served to the humans. Hence wanting to get consumed is
the contrary to the nature of the rational and the autonomous being.
View of Erika
Erika on the other hand highlighted the context ass totally disgusting. Being a
vegetarian, her views are totally rational. This is because, I believe that this is a unique kind
of pork and there is no reason for this kind of pork. I believe that the very idea of thinking
and speaking regarding the consumption of the meat makes the scenario more badly. From
the vegetarian point of view, it is furthermore believed that consumption of the animals and
their meats are morally not correct since the animals being living being have their share of the
right to live. I believe and acknowledge the fact that people tend to turn in vegetarian because
they did not want to cause any sort of unnecessary sufferings to the animals. I personally
furthermore feel that the use of the technology for the creation of this new animal or species ,
Will Pigs is not right philosophically correct. There furthermore lies a big query regarding the
fact on the point that how a rational creature or Will Pig can think of speaking or wanting to
be slaughtered and eaten. This cannot be possible because each and every living being desire
to live more. This is the virtue of the life. According to my personal insight, I believe that
wanting to get eaten is contrary to the nature of the autonomous and the rational being.

Personal View
According to my personal insight and my personal view, I believe that the
consumption of the animal are totally immoral and unethical in nature. This assignment
highlights the scenario of the consumption of Will pigs. I believe that the philosophical issue
that is present in this context is the existing dilemma that is present among the conversation
of two friends. The issue is that though Ian has been claiming that the Will pigs have their
wish to be eaten by the humans, it is still orally unethical to slaughter them for consumption
and mental pleasure of humans. On the other hand since the Will pigs have their aim of
fulfilling the taste and the consumption of human as their one and only wish of being the Will
Pork, it will also be question whether or not to fulfil their wish and do justice to their birth or
existence in the world. With the view of the Ian the doctrine of the utilitarianism is the most
appropriate stating the fact that actions that bring about the most and reduce and the good
outcomes are the right ones. The theory of utilitarian focus on the reduction of the suffering
and the maximization of the pleasure of happiness linking the context of Will pork who wants
to get happily slaughtered and the served to humans beings for their consumption fulfilling
their moto of life.
Conclusion
Thus it can be concluded from the above essay that the philosophical issue related to
the consumption of Will pork even the pork itself want to get served and slaughtered is
morally not right. This is because from the vegetarian point of view, animals have souls just
like the humans and killing them for consumption are philosophically not correct.
