We can already recreate human bladders, so why not grow human meat in a lab.
There are lab burgers, and the costs are plummeting. Being able to create human meat without human suffering will become inevitable. How will people react?

I don't think we will eat human meat, we will just create it for spare parts. Of course there will always be some humans that want to eat human meat. For now it's still quite expensive to create lab burgers? They will decrease a lot over time. The only problem is convincing humans to eat lab grown meat. People have a "bad feeling" around meat grown in labs. They rather slaughter animals pumped full of antibiotics and eat that shit.


People and their feelings are irrational, to put it nicely. Once you can get meat of higher quality and lower cost than the trash served at super markets everybody will jump on it. People are always afraid of anything they don't see/understand, but once it's out in the wild adoption snowballs. Like with bikes. The internet. Or with Bitcorn.

I don't see "normal" lab meat not becoming mainstream, but I wonder if people would remain put off from human meat if the biggest deterrent (killing humans) is removed.

It seems gross to me on a more emotional/impulsive level, but rationally speaking I don't see anything speaking against it.
