If you're concerned about taste and health then which version of meat do you think would be more likely to be controlled for flavour and health giving properties: the uncontrolled environment of an animal wandering about in a field or the controlled environment of a vat?

I don't see how this has anything to do with PETA actually.

Also I am certainly not religious, and even take offence at the thought, but yet again I fail to see how that has anything to do with your ability to choose where your cut of animal flesh originates from.

There's not a problem per se, more of an ethical gradient. Given the choice between meat that has been grown in a vat and meat that has been obtained by the death of an animal, I would choose the vat meat.

I would hazard a guess that most animals on the endangered list aren't there because of human over-consumption but rather habitat destruction due to increased human population. So I imagine that whilst this tech allows us to continue feeding ourselves with presumably less resources, this will confound the habitat destruction due to human overpopulation. Oh well... there's always soylent green.

I find it incredibly difficult to see how people concerned for the welfare of animals could possibly be against this technology. Besides this opens up other exciting culinary possibilities... like long pork! ;)

It would be nice to say, one day, that the steak you are eating came from the last cow to die (be sequenced?) for human consumption. I for one welcome our cultured bovine over-done-lords.

He weeps, for he has but one small tongue with which to taste^H^H^H^H^H see an entire world.

That's ok Google will just leak the contents of everyone's email to everyone else in Iran!

What's that you say? Gmail is blocked?

Missed it by that much....

Are there American laws regarding sousveillance? What would be the ramifications to a citizen who flew a ROV Blimp with camera gear and either filmed the other blimp or filmed the crowd in the stadium in the same fashion?

In space, no-one can hear the dingo taking your baby...

You've obviously never had a Vindaloo and warm English beer...

Well, the thing about a dark comet - its main distinguishing feature - is it's black. And the thing about space, the colour of space, your basic space colour, is black. So how are you supposed to see them?

So a vegan wouldn't sacrifice one last animal so that the rest of the population could live until eaten by a predator?

Who will think of the apex predators?
