Could it be a moral solution? what do you guys think?

Are you talking about lab-grown meat? If it does not involve any harm towards animals and is environmentally responsible then I would have no ethical objections. It might also be a useful solution to reducing animal suffering if it's cheaper than real meat, is well-advertised, and becomes popular. Until then, however, I think that anyone who inspires nonvegans to reduce/eliminate animal products from their diet, ought to focus on giving advice (on how to be healthy & happy without having to rely on "fake meat"). Unfortunately too many people can't bear the thought of living without eating meat, and view it as something that requires a nearly identical replacement.

I know it is not sustainable right now, but I have the feeling that as science progresses, this production will become much more efficient.
