“The vegan community is most dramatically torn. Some feel that any product derived from an animal remains a form of exploitation. Others believe that with the insurmountable fight against the ongoing animal holocaust and more non-vegans being born every day, we need to search for practical and viable solutions to replace humanity’s rising demand for meat. The vegans on the pro-cultured meat side say their motivation is putting the animals’ interests above all else.”


Comment:

“For the reasons outlined in this article, whatever ambivalence I initially felt about cultured laboratory meat, especially because of early concern that such meat would require the keeping of live animals as perpetual ‘seed,’ I am now firmly in the camp of the ‘others.’ Thank you for this extremely informative and helpful article.”
