      We’re already trying to scale existing methods, which means we already have the technology, it’s just not cheaper than the subsidized meat industry.

        Meat‽

        Are you suggesting that we test vaccines on artificial hamburger meat?

        Making something that tastes like meat is WAY different from actually making a complete immune system, fully working organs and everything else you need to test vaccines. We basically need full clones.

        Also how can you harvest lab grown organs consensually? It’s not like they can talk…

        You could theoretically make lab grown organs in a millennium or something but doing it consensually doesn’t make any sense because you can’t do it with or without consent, because they would presumably not be sentient.
