    I think it’s opposite. Lab grown meat is great idea, but it needs a lot of further development. By doing such a project (sounds disgusting though, like wooly meatball, yuck) they are getting the traction in public space and support and funding for those research.

      I agree. If we’re growing meat in labs and the lab only needs a DNA sample to get the meat growing, it could be anything. Why not an extinct animal?

      T-rex T-bone steak. Raptor ribs. Dodo drumsticks. Bourgeois paté.

      Okay, you would have to imagine the bones. And the last one is a bit optimistic.

      Now, if they brought the woolly mammoth back to life to rear it for meat… that would be terrible.

        Yes no questions here. Resurrect them just to slaughter would be needless cruelty.
