Wow. I think the world will be so much better with less cruelty to animals if this works. But I’m not so psyched about eating lab grown meat myself because of the unknowns

Let's hope this continues well beyond meat and to the point where we can culture human tissue replacements. New organs, skin, hair, blood. All monoclonal with non-reactive ABO/MHC/etc. antigen groups.
I think it's the other way around - the medical research around tissue growth inspired artificial meat technology.
That could easily flip if fake meat turns out to be a big industry.
Don't eat farmed meat either then. There's plenty of evidence against it. No need for unknowns.
What do you mean by evidence against it?
Health risks, animal suffering, damage to the environment. The evidence is endless.
