Hamburger Grown From Cattle Cells in Holland

One wonders if there are any moral issues about growing meat in a laboratory? It could free up land for conservation perhaps, yet the cattle growing business is technical quite sophisticated these days. Would it be wrong to treat biological life in such a way? It is not a wild sort of thing obviously and rather distasteful. It could be practical enough to develop though. Meat grown in warehouses could be a way to provide food for the hungry.

If the laboratory meat could be fed just chemicals easy to get from dirt it might be really practical.
