thought in response to comments: is this partially creepy 'cause most of the more integrated aspects of tissue enginnering is skin grafts (burn victims) and so lab-grown meat is associated with cannibalism? or is it just on principle?

but hey, I'm all for bioengineered plants, too. put me firm on the 'feeding people is a good thing' side.
