Researchers have been working on "cultured meat" for a long time now--basically, meat that was never part of an animal. I have no idea what their progress is like but there's a lot to think about on this subject. For one, there's nothing inherently constraining things to traditional livestock animals. It would pretty much eliminate all ethical concerns like animal cruelty or cultural "those aren't for eating" issues. I asked some irl friends if they'd be willing to try me, and most of them looked at me weird and said "...no." Potential topics of discussion: Would you eat the same kinds of meat you already do, just vat-grown? Is there an animal you've always wanted to try but can't due to laws and stuff? Is there a celebrity you'd like to have for dinner? Would you try yourself?

I think from a biology standpoint, yes. If human dna was used to somehow produce a slab of "MEAT" in a lab somewhere id consider that cannibalism. Ethical cannibalism i suppose

There really isn't much reason to eat meat once you get used to avoiding it. Cultured meat doesn't seem any more appealing than legumes or whatever, even if it's hypothetically equally ethical.

I there are some really delicious animals that no-one eats because it's too much hassle, like pygmy shrews, giant isopods, or bigfoots.

We should genetically resurrect the wooly mammoth, than kill it to turn it into mammoth vat meat and never make another actual wooly mammoth, it will only exist in our public consciousness as mammoth burgers that everyone kind of hates. Like whale meat in Japan but more ethical.

If this were viable and somehow NOT more of an ecological imprint than simply farming (and/or improving existing methods thereof) you know, meat, ok. Yes I would eat it. If you told me it was genetically the same as Human meat, grown in ideal conditions of some sort and would I eat that? Yes I would. Wow. Stunning. I'm sure.

I'd like to see the how and why of it since it wouldn't make sense other than a culinary aspect. But if for some far-flung god forsaken poo poo speck idea made that concept a reality? "Will you eat red meat to survive?" The answer is yes.

I remember a thread from 2015-ish era GBS called "how do you feel about the industrialized harvesting of flesh?" and the OP posted "I have an excellent video of a pig slaughter from Ukraine where the villagers beat it on its head with the blunt side of an axe" without actually providing a link and someone else posted "twitching, pulsating flesh" in the thread and then I think the OP did a heel turn trying to shame anybody who wasn't vegetarian. No I do not have the link to the actual thread.

I absolutely would prefer to eat meat made in a lab. I wouldn't have to worry about lovely slaughterhouses that use cancer chicken or feed their cows defective Skittles or whatever.

If you think about it, materializing meat in some company's lab must resemble the kind of proprietary currently chain business existing in today's environment. With thousands of labs springing up across the sketchiest parts of the globe - some in possession of stolen enzyme blueprints requiring the energy of a small nuclear plant to react, others with copyrighted amino acids made exclusively out of illicitly harvested organs, and absolutely every single one a front for drug cartels selling tropical fruit flavored veal at $1k/oz to their own restaurants.

If the lab-meat constantly grows without the chicken even attached anymore, isn't it just pure cancer?

Is it nutritious though? Look at the differences between grass-fed and conventional beef and pork, or wild-caught and farm-raised fish. There are quantifiable differences in the nutritive content of the meat despite it being from ostensibly the same animal. Is the lab grown meat going to have the same macro and micro-nutrient content as the actual pastured animal, or is it just calories and protein which will certainly keep you alive, but not necessarily healthy.

Lucky Guy posted:T-rex You've almost certainly eaten a close relative. And vat-grown human would still give you kuru unless they took out those proteins. I'd be interested in difficult-to-breed heirloom strains and rare delicious animals. Sea turtle is supposed to be AMAZING. And I'm sure my daughter will want to eat various protein from the sea that isn't jellyfish in her dotage. So I'm pumped for the tech.
