Tissue culture “clean meat” already in 2018? I’ve long been looking forward to this. https://ind.pn/2F9xAwS What if human meat is grown? Could we overcome our taboo against cannibalism? An interesting test case for consequentialist morality versus “yuck reaction” absolutism.
Celebrities will give cell samples so we can partake of their flesh. Music concert vendors will sell Jared Leto burgers and Taylor Swift kebabs. Fans will swoon. And, seriously, factory farmed chickens will suffer a lot less.

The “yuck reaction” associated with cannibalism & incest have a far deeper purpose than a mere taboo avoidance. We know incest is bad since there’s lots of evidence for offspring turning out w terrible conditions.

We’ve been fortunate in recent times that we didn’t have to find out the long term effects of cannibalism. Since there’s no evidence of what happens, we conclude it must be some cultural bug to remove.

I worried this will fail. If it is not implemented correctly it will just be a fad.
