With "Cultured Meat" becoming more and more a viable alternative...

nothing is stopping us from limiting this technology to pork and beef... we could totally synthesize human meat, would that ethical or should that be strictly forbidden. people would do it anyway just because.

in case you dont know what i am talking about...

Nothing stopping "us" really, except most humans have a pretty strong aversion to the thought of eating their [i]own[/i]. Since most humans don't have any aversion at all to eating certain [i]other[/i] mammals...I must wonder why humans would even be considered as a choice for "cultured meat".

[quote]But, according to the testimony of people who have actually eaten other people, the taste of human meat does not reflect its beef-like appearance. Both serial killers and Polynesian cannibals have described human as being most akin to pork. But not all cannibals agree with this description. William Seabrook, an author and journalist, traveled to West Africa in the 1920s and later described an encounter with man-flesh in great detail in his book, Jungle Ways. Human, he said, in fact tastes like veal. Here's Seabrook's description: [/quote]

They can get either cultured pork or cultured veal and pretend it's human.

Gross as hell and why bother doing that when we can have other protein sources. Respect for your own species is a good thing.

I'm all for cultured meat as it will save on slaughtered animals and will reduce our carbon footprint. Granted, I'm already vegetarian.

That said I'm uncomfortable with the idea of human meat, even cultured.

@AthrillatheHunt if I may ask, what made you such a crotchety old man?

@basilfawlty89 Even when a post is [i]about[/i] dietary choices, it seems to really bother some people when someone dares to even mention that they don't personally eat meat.
