Maybe we can take the beef from real cattle, and then patch them up with the lab grown tissue. No more slaughterhouses!

If you are going to eat artificial meat then there are much cheaper ways of doing it. Soy burgers etc. I get the technical exercise but the cost to produce compared to growing a few beans and turing that into a burger is way out of proportion. For my tastes,; Kill me a cow!

But that is what the whole story is about!? They used stem cells from a living cow and let them grew in the lab.

I am quite certain that they will go all the way, and that it will become affordable. Just give it time.

Any ecological or economical side-effects currently are hard to predict precisely. Just one thing is certain: man is an omnivore, not a pure carnivore or vegetarian. Our jaw and teeth and our digestion system - especially the part that we lack, compared to our cousins in the world of big apes! - tell that story quite clearly, even if many vegetarians actively close their eyes before that, for ethical concerns. The ethical argument - not bringing suffering to animals - I can understand and accept. The biological one, I refuse to take serious anymore (I did in the past, but information input forced me to correct my former views from long time ago).

Also, the human brain requires massive amounts of protein in order to function properly. The easiest and most natural way to get this protein is from the flesh of animals.
There are methods for the humane slaughter of animals for food that every producer should practice. Not always the case unfortunately. So, we get the PETA members being PITAs about it.
Grill me another burger, Wern.
