Now
when I say eat human meat, I’m not talking like Jeffrey Dahmer, or you’re
crashed in the Andes, or even a story I read a few years ago of an “artist” who
had their leg amputated for some reason and cooked it up for their friends. Instead, I’m talking about synthetic human
meat.
Synthetic meat is where you take some cells from an animal and grow them into meat in a
lab. It’s beef that was never part of a
cow. A lot of work has been done with
this in the last few years, and a couple months ago I saw an article saying
synthetic meat would show up in grocery stores by the end of 2018. This wouldn’t be synthetic steaks, but more
the crumbly bits of meat on frozen pizzas.
Synthetic steaks are still a few years away.
But
if you can make synthetic beef, you can make synthetic human. Would you try it though? I think if someone took some of my cells and
made synthetic Steve meat, I probably wouldn’t take a Steveburger, but I would
try a piece large enough to get a taste.
