Would you...

Assuming it's been found to have no ill effects, would you eat human flesh grown in a petri-dish? Friends I've asked so far are surprisingly divided on this matter.

Maybe...

I think I might for novelty value. Especially if the flesh had been cloned from myself.

No.

Curious question to break your silence here with. What prompted it?

Is this a new Google product?

I don't have a moral issue about it. Depends on the kind of "flesh", of course; can we stipulate skeletal muscle. My main reservation is that I trust statements like "it's been found to have no ill effects" about as far as I can throw the researchers involved.

Calling it "human" is questionable. I wonder if it's distinguishable from pork, without DNA testing.
