Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

It's the future, apparently, but would you eat a burger made of cells cultured and growing independently, with no brain attached, and no animal killed?

In the end it will happen and be a regular part of people's diet, but it won't stop animals being bred and raised for food, they'll just become a niche/expensive item.

I love meat, but avoid it for ethical reasons, so would rather lab-grown over animals, but in the end I think no-meat is the better solution.

I can't see anything against it really, a lot of people like the taste of meat, and if you can produce it without killing anything, and in a more environmentally friendly way, why not?

But why go to all the trouble, when it can be carved from a passing animal? If animals aren't used for meat, there'll be a lot less of them around.

And I can't imagine the husbandry standards will be any higher for lab tissues than real animals..

Why would you need to husband a lump of meat?

Virus/bacterial infection, pollution of the inputs, failure to extract the waste - was using husbandry as a catchall for growing standards, I suppose
