That is one huge, steaming, gigantic....puddle of mud.

So a born-dead animal is not an animal? (Let's say it was dead before it had any thought process.)
It was a fetus at one point.  And it was still created via macro sexual reproduction.

Not necessarily. You can just cultivate stem cells into meat. And you don't need the stem cells to be embryonic.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

Descan's issue is how it was made. I don't care how it was made. If the product is the same in both cases, then they're the same thing.

wait what are we talking about here because I seriously think you just implied that lab-grown meat is somehow less "moral" than killing stuff for it

Hmm, I might have misunderstood Dwarfy's post, now that I look back. Because that's certainly not what I meant.
I thought he was arguing that killing a farm critter was no worse than eating cloned meat.
I'm a tad distracted. Pls don't destroy the planet to get revenge for this misunderstanding, Dwarfy. :P

In the past few days, I've learned many things I didn't know about this forum.
Now I feel like an intruder who doesn't contribute.

Y'know what?
I'm gonna get that DnD game started. And it's gonna be good, and well thought out...

To be fair in-vitro meat is still living in the biological term since it is comprised of living cells, but then again, so do plants.

That's... That's my point. I wouldn't call a slab of cultivated meat an animal? The "it" in this case is the... thing directly in the quote I was talking about, the born-dead animal. :I

Animal: Creature that is a single organism, composed of differentiated cells, whether born dead or not, whether cloned or not.

Not-animal: Meat cultivated from an animal but in-vitro. Whether from embryonic stem-cells or a lineage or what-have-you.
