However, I agree with the statement you made about the well being of the chickens possibly being disregarded if this method becomes popular. I see this as a plausible predication, as it is not uncommon for people to consider animals as disposable and not care about how they are treated as long as humans are benefited in the end. Another con that I could possibly see happening is that even though the article states it is a cheaper option, it could be up-charged based on how popular it becomes. Overall, if ethics are upheld, this method could be extremely beneficial for our world.
I agree with you completley in that if ethics are upheld this new method could be a very good solution. I do see that given the history of business and economics, there is many ways this method could turn into something that solely benefits humans, specifically the people in charge of distributing and selling the drugs created.
