without causing harm to animals

  • Humans are animals
  • Growing me-steak and eating it causes psychic damage
  • Therefore, an animal was harmed
[–] Godric@lemmy.world 41 points 8 months ago

If we cultured cells from someone with an autocannibalism fetish, would it then be OK?

Like I take 1d4 psychic damage whenever I see furries at cons, but I don't think they should have to be banned

Of course it's ethical, unless I'm seriously misunderstanding something you literally have to make the decision to buy it and then partake in it.

I guess you can use it unethically but by default intended usage it's fine

Imagine the network of Taylor Swift DNA trading.

What are the ethics of fucking a steak made from a non-consenting Taylor Swift's tissue sample?

To me that's more ethical than killing of billions of animals, and the latter is considered ethical. I wouldn't do that because that would feel weird, but not unethical.

[–] Decoy321@lemmy.world 15 points 8 months ago

I wouldn't do that because that would feel weird,

I mean, it's basically homemade spam. It's kinda weird.

Haha I've been saying for fucking years that boutique lab growing meat outlets will pop up selling exotic animal meats and celebrity human meat. We are getting close to that future

I bet I taste delicious!

This is ethical despite it walking the line of taboo. It hurts no one, and if the tissue sample can be extracted at home without causing damage to the donor I see no issue with it.

[–] BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.world 22 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

It's unethical because it's gross and I personally don't like it.

I would be worried about disease first, but if it's your own cells maybe there's less chance? Prions are terrifying

My second question would be taste

If there's no disease and it tastes good then fuck yeah all in

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 21 points 8 months ago

Those cannibals who got prions ate human brain.

It's unethical because you can't safely perform muscle biopsies at home, thus it is a violation of the duty of care, and culturing stratified squamous epithelium and calling it meat(and steak no less) is lying without any benefit to others, which is a fundamental ethical violation.

Fuck, I've always wanted to eat human meat anyway. I'd kill for a sample like this. I don't care about morals here. I'm a vegetarian. I just want to know. If my buddy was like "ayy we're eating Dan from accounting's arm tonight" I'd be there with no questions asked. The police can sort it out.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 36 points 8 months ago

I mean, if you'd kill for that you don't need the kit.

[–] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 8 months ago

I’d kill for a sample like this.

oh boy do I have something to tell you

fetal bovine serum (FBS)... is derived from the blood of calf fetuses after their pregnant mothers are slaughtered by the meat or dairy industry.

I did not know this... and after reading the wiki, I found it rather disturbing...

The first stage of the production process for FBS is the harvesting of blood from the bovine fetus after the fetus is removed from the slaughtered cow. The fetus dies from the lack of oxygen by remaining in the protective environment of the uterus for a minimum of 15–20 minutes after the cow is dead...

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 16 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The whole point of this art project is to suggest that using expired human blood serum is acceptable for growing lab meat btw. That's what they used to culture the cheek cells. Took them several months to grow that amount though and cheek cells have very different requirements to muscle cells, so I dunno why they were presenting it as an option. Guess that's why it was an art project and not a presentation at a conference.

By what technicality this isn't cannibalism?

[–] aphlamingphoenix@lemm.ee 27 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I would call it auto-cannibalism. I think it is a form of cannibalism.

Remember that guy on Reddit who claims he had to have his leg amputated and he somehow got to keep it, and he and his friends cooked and ate it?

That's weird, but as long as it remains their own, or consenting others, I think it's fine. The minute capitalism gets involved I think it becomes exploitative and unethical - long pork in the grocery store fundamentally should not be a thing.

Isn’t cannibalism a good way to get prion based diseases? Or is that only if you eat other people

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 28 points 8 months ago (3 children)

If you're eating yourself, no. If you have a disease to pass on, you can't catch the disease, because you already have it.

Also I want to hear from you, is it ethical and why?

I don't see why not. It hurts nobody, except maybe yourself. Not sure what the nutrition is on this thing.
