I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that *some* group out there would find it unethical. Call it a crazy stab in the dark.

Ethical to slice a living things neck and unethical to grow its tissue in the lab where it has no thoughts?
Awesome! Now we can grow hoards of food and sell it to other starving countries that are starving in the name of the all mighty dollar instead of helping the starving people in our own country!
Oh wait, that's what we're already doing *cough*G8*cough*. :frown:

What about people who are vegetarian for "ethical" reasons only? This meat is not from a "living" animal with feeling, emotions, etc.
If this becomes common place I could stop being a vegetarian because the threat of mad cow's disease would be gone!
:laugh: Animals do not have feelings and emotions. They only have primal instincts and very very basic learned reactions from stimuli.

Definatly right about the penguin part.
You forgot Chimps, Monkeys, Dolphins (they are not fish), Birds (such as parrots) and many more creatures that we haven't studied in as much detail as the rest.
As for vegetarians, I am an ethical vegetarian but I will not touch this stuff with a 20ft pole. Its animal meat no matter how it is grown.
Take a look at the whole welfare system. Take a look outside for a second. Stop and take a good look at major cities and all the homeless people that the government pays out the nose for every year to support with homeless shelters and so forth.

"In 2001, the USDA reported that the number of Americans who were food insecure or hungry or at risk of hunger was 33.6 million. In the last year it is estimated that there has been an additional 5-10 million additional people who are now in jeopardy of hunger and starvation. The government has a benign description of this situation, calling the hungry and starving "Food Critical.?

But that makes no sense. It's animal meat that does not come from a "living" thing. What is your 'ethical' reason for not wanting it?

Some vegetarians (vegans actually) don't eat any products from animals... including things like egss or milk.
Personally, i would eat this. I see this as no different than eating a veggie burger right now.
