Ok I suppose I should add caveats, like I am assuming that this would be FDA approved and tested by a few independent sources before being put on grocery shelves.

Regarding your thoughts on whether it's a living thing, is purely philosophical. It sounds to me like you haven't actually seen what goes into these artificial meats. They extract cells from animals and feed them the nutrients they need (like amino acids) to cause the cells to divide and grow like they would in the animal's body.

So whether a muscle grew with a cow over years, or it grew in a lab, does that really matter?

Is an organ that's grown on a pig any less an organ than one grown in a human?
