In-Vitro Meat: Bring it on!

A look at the technology of In-Vitro meat... growing meat from the stem cells of an animal-- basically tissue engineering-- without killing said animal. This would solve so many problems.

Merely short-sighted, there is a potential for abuse sure, but also the greatest implications for humanity, let's not abandon the idea before we've even had the chance to explore it.

Franken Food is what you buy at McDonalds today. Highly processed food, full of nitrogen, full of toxins, full of growth hormones, full of stress hormones, yes from from suffering beings. That is horror meat. I vote for suffering free, clean and healthy meat instead.

Domestic animals will go extinct if this succeed

The whole idea that GMO crops are somehow harmful is a very well perpetuated myth. The scientific consensus to date is, by far, that GMOs pose no greater health risks than conventional crops. In fact, GMOs can make food cheaper and safer, as it eliminates the need for actually dangerous chemical treatments. Additionally, other organisms do consume GMOs. We don't know how much of our livestock is fed GM feed because we have no way to tell the difference.

A little to quick to jump the gun, I think. We are still a ways off from perfecting the technology of in-vitro grown food, sure, but we have only begun. It only requires improvement. I think you are being a bit short sighted.

Yeah animals are not people... so it's not torture and murder. Also eating meat is good and tastes good and one of the few sources of complete proteins. Vegetable proteins are incomplete and provide little nutrients in comparison to meat. And eating veggies is still the killing of an organism because that organism does not want to be eaten, it wants to reproduce. So vegetarians do not solve the problem of killing living things.

Typical weirdo fuck troll comments.

Focus on the REAL issue: THIS TECHNOLOGY COULD END THE HOLOCAUST OF MURDERING BILLIONS OF ANIMALS! GOVERNMENTS SHOULD INVEST TRILLIONS INTO THIS!

UNTIL THEN, IF YOU'RE NOT VEGAN, FUCK YOU! You've got NOTHING to complain about, NOTHING important to comment on, because you can't even be bothered to stop eating meat in order to stop torture and murder.
