still be a vegetarian? This meat would be born without any capability of sentience, fear, sense of pain, etc. whatsoever, and would remain in a vegetative state for the entirety of its life.
Would you eat the healthier bits (like fish and the like) if this was the case?

I work in mental health and we have some patients who are in a "vegetative state." Does that mean we should eat them?

That is a horrifying proposition.
The scariest thing is that I could actually see the Cattlemen's Association doing something like that if the vegetarian movement ever got big enough to be a threat to them.
But to answer your question...NO. Just because it doesn't have a brain doesn't mean the cholesterol magically goes away. And there is NO healthy meat. Fish, chicken, turkey, beef, pork, it ALL has high levels of cholesterol. It ALL contributes to disease.

Cool. even nevertheless i'm leery of a few GMO's this one does not worry me as much as mixing plant and animal DNA. We breed Angus livestock mentioned for his or her huge genetic pool and given adequate time we could exchange milk features without splicing however the will for human milk is now. RScott

Hey there!
No I still wouldn't eat animals.
I would consider it cruel to the animals that they have been genetically modified in such a way that their quality of life has been even furthur compromised, even if they cannot feel it.
Becides, theres plenty more reasons for being vegetarian than just cruelty. The environment and one's health for instance.

No, it's not healthy and it's not what our bodies were designed to eat. Plus, I wouldn't want to financially support studies that turn animals into vegetables.

Yeah, I'd still be vegan. It's still the cruel and unnecessary breeding of an animal, and really, it's even worse, as we're making them insensate to justify eating them. That's kind of sick, isn't it?

No. For one thing, I try to avoid genetically modified frankenfoods. Second, it would still be rotting flesh. Third, raising it would still be wasteful and environmentally unsound.

No, I tend to avoid Frankenfood. Besides, the idea of eating meat simply isn't appealling, it would be too similar to the flesh of sentient animals.

Catkin, you took my answer! I don't mess with frankinfood, either. Who knows what kind of affect that shite will have on us in the future. And I don't eat meat because we aren't designed to eat meat. I would still eat my freshly grown, garden picked veggies, and leave the nasty dead bits to you.

Uh no. It's an animal still.
Genetically modified isn't good to eat anyways.
