Edible Meat Can be Grown in a Lab on Industrial Scale

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?

Honestly, and I really don't know why, but it disgusts me. But, to give it a true thought, it would comfort my mind about eating living creatures (I'm trying to be a vegetarian, but it's alot difficult than it should be). It's a good thing, in the end, is what I'd say. If they can engineer this, there should be much hope for the med field.
