So i found this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_vitro_meat
Can Vegans finally eat meat? (Provided it's In Vitro Meat)
So, TheVeganAtheist, will you eat or at least will you concede that it's a bit more okay to eat In Vitro Meat?

Veganism is about not causing avoidable suffering to sentient organisms. Since this would hypothetically not involve sentients suffering, it should be fine. But there's still a long way to go before this becomes an economically and environmentally viable reality.
One would also have to think about health aspects and if moderation may be warranted at the hypothetical time when it becomes economically viable. On a similar note most (?) vegans do have alcohol and ethanol is a recognized carcinogen so this would be a similar case.

In vitro meat, assuming animals will not be a part of the production chain, is definitely okay. I recall TVA agreeing in a video or on this forum, but I could be wrong.
It will probably still be very unhealthy though, but that does not make it immoral to consume.

Of course it would be okay. It's not animal-meat after-all. Though, the point of producing vitro-meat... Eh. If it became viable to produce and sell, I can see this as a huge push forward in getting meat-eaters who just crave the taste of certain meats, to consider veganism. But I find those are people who are not very adventurous in trying new food.

Not sure how I feel about it for myself. Don't they need cells taken from animals to work with?
I think I need to understand the entire process (in layman terms of course) to even consider it.
