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.

Isn't cows eating cows theorized as the genesis of mad cow disease?

1. Lab meat could become mainstream (if it becomes cost-effective), but it would NOT be grown from human cells, but from cow, sheep, pig, etc. cells.

2. cow eating cow brains (through pulverized additions to their food supply) was the cause of mad cow disease. Prions (proteins implicated in mad cow and related diseases) are concentrating in neural tissue. Case in point: never eat brains of any species.
