   Why not just human stem cells as well?  Same technology, same economic   
   and moral advantages/conundrums.  And it tastes like pork!   
      
   We're running out of meats to eat.  Was just reading about what we've   
   done to the world's fisheries, and modern cattle farming is an exercise   
   in genetic monoculture, hormone treatments, and industrialized   
   slaughter.  It wouldn't take much for some new disease to do serious   
   damage to the industry.
