AUTOMATIC CONTROL DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SELF-DECOMPOSITION MECHANISM

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a control device and a method that can perform control to express, execute, stop or hold a self-decomposition mechanism programmed in life on the earth.SOLUTION: In an automatic control device for a self-decomposition mechanism, by quickly making a change of an environmental condition in which an animal lives to the animal from a suitable condition to live to an unsuitable condition to live, a self-decomposition program preset in a gene of the animal is activated. After a predetermined time after the operation, by making a change of the environmental condition in which the animal lives to the animal from the unsuitable condition to live to the suitable condition to live, the environmental condition is returned to the suitable environment for growth. At a predetermined time point before or after the operation, by inhibiting a gene transcription of the animal or inhibiting protein synthesis of the animal by applying a gene transcription inhibitor or a protein synthesis inhibitor to the animal, induction of the self-decomposition program is stopped and held.
