[marinaaa001]

english is not my first language, i dont undertood what he said at the final of the video, the machine "...looks almost like a big piece of..."???? i understand julge....

[sundnick]

@marinaaa001 "... like a big piece of jewelry."

[marinaaa001]

@sundnick thankx! :)

Even vegans can't complain about this, if all they need is a few cells from the animals, I doubt that would hurt the animal much and it wouldn't be killing the animal because the meat technically would have never been alive.

[thefakeyeti]

How much does it/would it cost?

Is the meat grown cheaper and healthier then meat I can simply by from the store?

[gypsey01]

thanks ill buy one...where can i get it.....

[sametal847]

Breastford, I reckon

[fxckdahumans]

nerd alert

Design Contest? More like Sculpture Contest... without knowing how the technology will work and how big it will be, restraints and such, designing a "house" for that technology is a waste of time if considered anything but art (yes it's pretty). Talking of "science" without mentioning science fiction makes it sound like you are trying to give this contest credientials it doesn't deserve. Take something that already exists and house it in a beautiful, functional design... then I'll be impressed.

please shut the fuck up , he mentions star trek in the teleport fridge , get your shit right dumbass

[Aprinsa]

Interesting. I wonder where they obtain these animal cells for the meat. Is that part ethical?

[airiefaerie]

sketchy

[DigitalPraise7]

Didn't they have something like this in the second installment of Back to the Future?

[ss4vegeta1]

I wouldn't eat that crap no matter how cheap it was sold.

[TheTubeCL]

the brief was to provide designs looking up to 90 years into the future - although the electrolux jury member doesn't explain it well in this video, this type 'in vitro' method of growing tissue from stem cells is already under development and will definitely be widely available within that time. the concept is both visionary and feasible - check the electrolux design lab website if you want more details on the design...

[RandytheAstonishing]

I'm gonna grow vaginas and sell them on the corner in my soon to be opened vagina stand. I'll engineer some tits too but you gotta figure out a way to put a skin on them yourself. Garbage bag maybe?

[6d617474]

It utilizes "science"... whoah!

One clever dude designed this, using science!

"So NASA, can you explain how you landed a man on the moon?"

"We used science!"

[orlibonurb]

lol

[AKramb08]

Hahahaha

[bgroni]

brilliant

[hienakky99]

Does the meat you grow feel pain?

[zullnero]

No. And if you had any grasp of how anatomy works, you'd realize that there is no full nervous system being grown. The dude is just keeping it simple and skipping over the cellular division part of growth and calling it just "science" for your benefit.

[Yerzriknot]

So would this make all the dumb ass animal rights activists shut up since no animals would be harmed in the making of your steak?

[rozina44]

Probably - Shame it wouldn't make dumb assholes like you shut up, though.

[azninvasion2000]

science? it uses science? doesn't everything technically utilize science? how about talking about the groundbreaking technology behind this versus which colors it will come in?

[OneManDamned]

Could you use human cells, and "grow" your own human meat? Legal cannibalism!

[TheTubeCL]

actually, its not a microwave concept at all - it is for producing 'raw' meat/fish, which you then cook however you want with other appliances.

[bowsa]

If the substance is being heated, wouldn't the growth of said meat be "cooked"?

[thefakeyeti]

I would venture to guess that the risk of salmonella/food poisoning would disappear with this technology..

So would you even need to cook the food?

[zarakuda]

this can alsow be seen in film cald "BACK TO THE FUTURE 2 or 3" as a microw wave owen...

so this stuf is really innovative...

[RenesmeesBFF]

Hey, that cocoon thing was pretty cool.
