Make your own meat?

Question

How do you guys feel about the advance in the possible future to have a machine that cultivates meat. I understand some people are vegetarian for the taste, but those for health, this meat will have no fat and be pure. Obviously, this is an outlook question as there is no such machine. But if there was a machine that produced meat that wasnt taken from an animal and that was healthy... would you change and how would you feel about it morally?

Answer 1

There;s been debate about this topic numerous times, the ethics of "cloning" cow or pig muscle simply to harvest for meat, the "animal" would never truly be alive, feel no pain because they didn't grow a nervous system and brain, just the muscle used for food. There would have to be countless tests done to ensure the genetically engineered meat wouldn't cause any bad reactions to it, no birth defects etc etc. But I think one day we'll see it replace farming cows, chickens pigs, sheep etc etc as a means of supplying food for the masses.

Answer 2

It cant possibly happen. Meat comes from animals. It's impossible to answer this.

Answer 3

It sounds too artificial.
I have no problem slaughtering animals to harvest their meat. It is Natural, healthy and it's what the Creator, whoever that may be to you, intended.

Answer 4

But, your body needs some animal fats.

Some people take it to extremes, but nonetheless, it is valuble for a balanced diet.

Answer 5

What kind of meat will it be? What if it is like human meat? Sounds scary to me.

Answer 6

I'm guessing it would be produced from grains and veggies. Probably similar to tofu....I would try it.

Answer 7

If it's something artificial than how can it be healthy for you? I'll stick to my vegetables instead.

Answer 8

Why not everything else is fake in America

Answer 9

I dont think it would be for me, there would be genetic modifying or something rather unpleasant happening there.

Answer 10
