@24 If you're still lurking aroundI have a question for you!
On Star Trek they get most of their food from "replicators" which use energy stores (pretty much batteries) and convert the energy into matter as food.
If they order a plate of ribs then the replicator makes it based on instructions of pork ribs but the meat is not actually from a pig. It's from a battery. Would that be kosher since it did not come from an animal? Or would the fact that the programming instructions for "ribs" are based on pork make it traif?
