It's not as fun without the suffering.

    Don't worry, our source cells are from the most depressed individuals we could find. And our workers are the poorest immigrant pre-teens to ensure maximum suffering.

    Don't forget to try our human tiddy sour cream, it's sourced from the same pre-teens!

    Regular cannibalism is ethical, it just depends on who you eat

    I could see people from onlyfans auctioning their meats. It's the only natural progression of lab-grown meat industry.

    "cannibal" is a derogatory term. Nowadays we prefer to be called gourmetally challenged.

    Seems like a real risk for the introduction of prion diseases.

    Hmmmmmmmm I thought prion diseases were (usually) a result of eating brain matter and occasionally the result of eating non brain matter that shared a body with a brain. By this understanding, the risk of prion diseases wouldn't be a factor as only the misfolded proteins of a brain are ones that can be risky.

    A prion is just a misfolded protine that has some adverse behavior that your body can't detect (there's a mechanism that if your body identifies a malformed protine, it will terminate the cell making it). Anyway, prions live in this small region in a Venn diagram whereits can't be detected, but can still replicate and cause harm.

    We mostly think of prion diseases (like mad cow) affecting the brain, but I dont think prions are isolated to the brain... Prion deseases happen to involve the brain a lot because a misbehaving protine in your brain will have a lot more apparent effects

    Is it really cannibalism if the meat wasn't actually from a person? 🤔

    I can see someone submitting a DNA sample to Ancestry and watching the horror/drama unfold.

    What would be worse - finding out the sample came from a missing person, or someone who never offered the donation?

    Why would we eat lab-grown human when there are so many delicious animals to be had?

    Secondly, A1, Heinz 57 or Lawry's?

    In Arthur C Clark's 1964 short story "Food of the Gods" a synthetic- meat company came out with a very tasty and great-selling product. Turns out it's cultured human tissue.

    'The Ophiuchi Hotline,' by John Varley. A food engineer is sentenced to death after the authorities discover that her 'banana meat' tree has human DNA. Great read.

    Could I grow my own meat and then tell people to eat me?

    We could see the advent of ethical and unharmful autophagia

  • [–] 6 points 3 years ago (1 child)

    Technically, I guess.

    Unfortunately, we still seem to be very far away from it replacing our usual way of growing meat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0zCf4Yup34

    Reminds me a bit of the plot the movie Antiviral but with meat instead of illnesses
