  1. If the point of being vegan is to reduce harm to animals on an industrial scale, then I don't believe there is any reasonable argument against cultured meat. Technology is great. Eating it or not after that would just be a matter of personal preference for your diet.

  2. I like the concept of lab-grown meat. Great for animals and the planet. Don't think I'd eat it, though. Going vegetarian then vegan was easy for me because I find the taste/texture of meat gross.

  3. Its a no from me, i dont miss meat so this is not an option for me. Also if made from animal cells/hurts the animal/experiment then definitely no for me personally. Im happy with my veggies❤ but its a better alternative for meat eaters for sure better than what we have available today .great video and you cover so many topics that others dont. Thank you for your content ❤😊

  4. I feel like I would be ok with it being lab grown. It means that no animal is being harmed. And to me that’s the main goal, not I would not eat a lot of it because too much meat is still not good for you. But if it means that we don’t have to kill something to eat it then I would take that option over conventional meat. 😊

  5. What about the ethics of the lab "meat" itself. We know nothing about a solo living organ, but an organ is a form of life. And this will be made on an incredibal big scale. There will be cell waste, organ waste. What if braincell grow in those masses and nobody noticed it. It could cause a kind of feeling and pain. I find it worse than eating real meat, because the same egotistical unintelligent people are now playing god. And how romantic to think the biopsie would be the only possible harm. What happens on the way, until the know how to do it? I am just to sensitive to want to know it. But you can be certain, they are not ethical all of a sudden. And the new meat can not be healthier as the old if it is a correct rebuild. This is not stupidity, it is stupidity that gets more dangerous, for the animals and the lulled manipulated consumer. And why are people so against genetic manipulated soy, while this kind of genetic manipulation or copying is all of the sudden okay. Does anyone else feel like me?

  6. That wn´t work . There were some experiments in terms of lab-growing organs , such like hearts for example and the people, who got those lab grown hearts got cancer. In Germany there is a saying: "The whole thin is always more, than the sum of its parts ". So big warning here… Milk is unnecessary and even unhealthy for humans-accept for babys. What kind of a vegan are you, considering to consume dairy again when is´s lab – grown ?

  7. Goatis aka Sv3rige aka Syringe is wanted by the police for attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend and baby. Just Youtube his name and "Luna", many things will come out. He also had a hair transplant. If you mention any of these under his videos, he will block you. So you should make a response video.

  8. As someone who hasn't eaten meat and dairy for more than a decade, I totally support lab grown meat. I won't necessarily eat it because it does gross me out. But anything to diminish unethical and harmful practices is okay in my book!

  9. For those who insist lab-grown meat is vegan, why? It indisputably is animal flesh. The health risks associated with consumption of the product doesn’t change just because it is produced “sans l'animal”. Additionally, what are the environmental costs associated with producing. Is it cloning process? Does it require donor animals in perpetuity?

  10. By meat, they mean lamb, cows, chickens, pigs, turkeys. So, my question is since the meat is grown in a lab, why they don't grow dogs, cats or even better human meat! 😊🤷‍♂️
    Don't get me wrong, I am all in for lab meat, so that the meat-eaters can no longer harm/exploit animals and I am not sure if I will ever eat lab grown meat, but I am still wondering, why would we normalize eating meat from the usual animals that we are eating and not from other animals or humans. 😊

  11. Meat eaters will have to be forced by law to give up animal meat after lab grown meat is made available. They won't give up animal meat willingly, just like they have not done it so far when we have plant-based meats that taste just like animal meats. It seems to me that meat eaters want animals to suffer and die for them. Maybe it makes them feel important that someone suffered and died for them.

  12. Why can't they take the cells from humans? Meat eaters often say how meat is bioavailable, well, wouldn't it be more bioavailable of it was from the same species? Heck, it could even be from the same human. I have heard of a company that is working on an appliance that would make it possible to do lab grown meat at home. So, everyone could just take a few cells from herself/himself and grow his/her own meat. (I am half joking.)

  13. One correction from a vegan who also studied biology 🙂 Antibiotic resistance refers to the bacteria themselves becoming resistant to antibiotics due to the overuse of certain antibiotics. It does not refer to people becoming resistant to antibiotics. However, the fact still remains that bacteria are becoming more resistant to commonly used antibiotics, in part due to overuse in medicine, overuse in agriculture, etc.

  14. I am happy that the environment will benefit from the lab grown option. Animal fluids = hazardous waste. This’ll help the environment. Yay!

    For me, I can eat alternatives since alternatives do not require suffering. I’m happy the suffering will eventually be minimal to zero. I hope I see it in my lifetime. However, I also have zero taste for meat. I find the smell alone repulsive.

    Also, I have an allergy to animal proteins that led me to be plant-based and then vegan. I can’t consume it even if I wanted to.

  15. My feelings toward lab grown meat are very similar to yours, though I do feel more conflicted about it. I definitely wouldn't eat it myself, the thought of eating meat is disgusting to me. At the same time, I can recognize the good that it can cause and in particular I like the idea of it for pet foods, so that vegans (and everyone else) can feed their animal companions more humanely. However, the fact that there has to be a donor animal does not sit well with me because it's not like that animal can consent and as you pointed out the biopsy can cause pain. That animal is still being treated as a commodity, even if it isn't being mistreated and abused before being slaughtered at a young age as is the norm in animal agriculture. You get into a "do the ends justify the means" problem there and I simply don't know how I feel when the means are causing some pain and distress to a sentient being who cannot consent and the ends are saving thousands of innocent lives, including the life of the donor. I don't think it's moral to do that to the donor animal, but it's certainly more moral than animal agriculture.

  16. I personally would not eat it bc the animal is not consenting to the biospy (if I understanding the procedure correctly, if not someone please correct me) therefore I personally don't consider this vegan. BUT it will still REALLY minimize animal suffering and I am all for it for meat eaters and as many others stated, pets. This is definitely the more preferable option to what is happening now

  17. I enjoyed watching this and catching up on a few extra details, we gotta stay learnt on this topic. I agree, to me it's still vegan and hella important. I would buy and eat it, but I'll still support the fake meats like beyong and impossible too. No doubt those will remain the cheaper option, probably for forever.

  18. Yeah, I think it’s great for other people, I personally am a bit icked by the thought of eating meat in general. (I havent eaten it for…nearly 24 years now and yeah, I don’t think it’s for me) but if it saves billions of lives I see it as a net good.
