It's grotesque, but preferable... only just. It's impossible to describe the deep ideological change that I underwent when I gave up meat, but I don't desire anything that looks or tastes like it, and even knowing - in theory - no sentient suffering was involved, I still find this suggestion ghastly. But, I recognise, this argument is the least persuasive of all if you're still an avowed carnist. You really have to go through the change to understand what I'm saying, and clearly, most people are too selfish. So this abomination will have to do... (cc: @CassandraRules x.com/CassandraRules… - thought you might agree on this)

the ultimate solution is through technology we engineer what has been called a bodyoid: brainless animal bodies that provide as much meat as we desire without harming any sentient beings this would transform medicine - the same platform would allow us to grow organs on demand, eliminate transplant waiting lists, and produce perfectly matched tissues for each patient experimental therapies could be tested on full biological systems without involving conscious animals, regenerative medicine would accelerate as entire replacement tissues become manufacturable in the same way that agriculture turned food from a scarce resource into an abundant one, engineered bodyoids would turn biological material into infrastructure - meat without slaughter, organs without donors, and medical research without sentient suffering

Hidden on page 744 of the farm bill the House Agriculture Committee passed Thursday is a provision that would condemn millions of pigs to a lifetime in gestation crates. Rebranded the 'Save Our Bacon Act,' it's a pork-industry play to wipe out every state law banning the sale of pork from crated pigs — laws the conservative Supreme Court upheld in 2023. Over 85% of Democrats and Republicans oppose these crates. Voters have backed ballot measures to ban them in state after state. The pork industry knows it can't win a straight vote on this. So it's burying the provision in an 800-page bill and hoping no one notices. Contact your senators and representative today and tell them: oppose the farm bill unless the Save Our Bacon Act is stripped out. You can reach them at senate.gov and house.gov — it takes two minutes and it matters.

@AndrewsKeeva @MaDR86 @kaimicahmills The method of the killing doesn't matter, I was just being expressive. You are still growing a sentient creature with the intent to consume a part of it. How is that better than growing only the part you want to eat without the rest of the creature? This way, nobody has to die.

@DBiomech @MaDR86 @kaimicahmills Also, the throat cutting you describe is why I don't support halal meat. A stun gun to the head means the animal experiences no pain or suffering, just going from a normal day in it's happy life to being done. A good life with one bad day is more than wild animals get.

@DBiomech @MaDR86 @kaimicahmills By that logic, caring lovingly for a dog its entire life then putting it down when it's facing a decline it will never come back from is also cruel and renders the rest of its comfortable life a lie.

@fdondi1 @kaimicahmills To grow in vitro on an industrial scale, you'd probably need to add a lot of those organs back for efficiency anyway (veins, at the very least). Plus, isn't one of the criticisms of meat cultures is that you can only produce essentially grounded meat, since it's just cells?

@luz1fer30 @kaimicahmills You don’t have to be religious to reject this. Would you be open to testing highly experimental and likely deadly drugs on brain dead people? Or bioengineering humans with brains to test those drugs on?

@AndrewsKeeva @MaDR86 @kaimicahmills You raise and care for that animal, make it feel happy and safe - until the moment you slit its throat to butcher. Their comfy life is a lie. IDK, it's better than factory farming obviously, but still worse than growing food that's just incapable of processing its existence.

@MaDR86 @kaimicahmills So in your eyes, raising and caring for animals like this is less ethical than creating crippled meat creatures that are lobotomized to be unaware of their own horrific joke of an existence. You need to get out of your ivory tower. youtube.com/watch?v=BoWDbm…
