Science has successfully grown cultures of animal tissues in petri dishes to test vaccines and medicines. One enterprising person came up with the idea of making laboratory grown meat as an ethical alternative to slaughtering animals.
Would you eat meat if it slightly annoyed the cow rather than kill it? What if the animal never knew it had been sampled?

I asked this question some months ago because I'd read an article about the process (yes, it requires donor tissue, but no, the animal doesn't have to die for it... they donate just a few muscle cells.) I can see it as a potential solution for people who are interested in vegetarianism for ethical reasons but are having a hard time giving up meat. For me, though, it would be a big NO. I became a vegetarian for a wide variety of reasons and the ethical concerns are just a part of the bigger picture. Besides, it's been over 20 years and I don't miss it a bit.

a big NO THANK YOU to ethical meat. we've seen just what happens when man starts messing with stuff. do i really want to eat meat that grew from animal tissue in some laboratory's petri dish? seems like another oh-so-great plan to make the big guys some big money.
sounds like FrankenFood to me...

I avoid meat because the overwhelming amount of information that says its better and healthier to live without.
I currently don't trust anything that comes from a laboratory either that is marked as a 'food'. "Foods" do not come from laboratories, they are grown from seeds.
I also avoid overly processed foods, like refined oils, white sugar, and other nasty chemicals. Science keeps showing how bad they are for you, at the same times it keeps coming out with new ones.
How would 'ethical' meat be any better for me?
Would it be lower in fat and saturated fat?
Higher in fiber, vitamins and phytochemicals?
Higher in antioxidants?
Lower in sulfur containing amino acids and homocysteine?
Higher in the raw unprocessed complex carbohydrates that are good for me?

Yes,I think it would be a good alternative to slaughtering animals.Just for people who have to eat meat.How good for you is it,probably bad!No,I would not even try it.I think there are great meat alternatives out there people just haven't tried.Meat just isn't that good to even annoy a cow.

would be plenty much less ethical to end searching while we've grew to become maximum of their land into farms and housing. At this ingredient, deer and different wild animals basically have plenty land the place they might get foodstuff. What foodstuff there is ought to no longer be adequate to feed all of them if their populations save going up unchecked. somewhat interior the east the place there are few predators attracted to deer and hogs. the only ingredient besides hunters and offended farmers taking them out is autos. dying via automobile isn't instant the two. i've got seen a selection animals who've been hit via autos, suffering to stroll as their insides fail and that they are in severe discomfort from broken bones. it is no longer uncomplicated to video reveal, and lots extra cruel than being shot. i think of as long through fact the shot is a rapid and painless kill as obtainable and of direction it is criminal (utilising tags etc), that searching is alright. like it or no longer, human beings are the selection a million species on the earth. Our brains are between the main better, and we've used them to assist us alongside. With our brains and the machines we've outfitted with our understanding, we are in a position to tear down mountains, exchange the path of rivers, or maybe deliver human beings to the moon and, formerly long, different planets. through fact the selection one animal on the earth nevertheless, i think of it is our accountability to realize our strikes have outcomes. no longer basically for us yet for each residing creature we proportion this planet with. mutually as i think of our first precedence is to look after ourselves, we ought to continuously no longer prioritize ourselves in any such way that we forget how significant nature is.

That's just bizarre in general. I don't care for the idea of someone playing god like like that. Most people I know that eat meat are against it also.

It actually requires a donor tissue still,so an animal still dies for it.It would be gross still,the smell of red meat makes me gag,bacon is the worst without a doubt.

Hmm... I don't think so. I've been a vegetarian for quite a while, and I don't ever really miss meat. Thinking about it, I think it would gross me out, eating what was living tissue... So, no, I would not.

Never. Vegans do not eat meat for a variety of reasons.

no that just sounds disgusting. i'll stick as close to nature as possible, thank you.
i wouldn't want someone taking a piece out of me and growing it into a meal for some one. i'll let the cow live as it was meant to. with out my interference.
