Lab grown meat already exists. The same processes could easily make human meat without harming the human.

I’m fairly certain this will at some point lead to a social media fad of people trying, well, people. It seems like every possible stupid action has already been turned into one at this point https://eu.app.com/story/news/world/2024/03/07/what-is-tiktok-chroming-trend/72879475007/

Onlyfans creators already sell stuff like toenail clippings and bathwater https://kotaku.com/belle-delphine-onlyfans-paypal-pornhub-bath-water-1851491916

Wouldn’t be difficult to imagine people buying meat made of their favourite creator. What they do with it is between them and their god.

I feel like that will become illegal pretty quickly.

Probably, can’t imagine it being good for your health. But there may be a brief, highly profitable window.

I keep mixing up Armin Meiwes and Armin Meiwald. Really unfortunate coincidence that their names are so similar yet what they’re known for is so different.

He’s a children’s author, oof 😆

Slightly different life choices between the two.

Not only an author but the co-creator and original host of Die Sendung mit der Maus, Germany’s longest-running and most popular educational show for children.

Like, on dating sites?

Edit: Ok, looked it up. No, I wouldn’t be answering personal ads from this guy :)

I guess I saw the IT Crowd episode that must have been referencing this.

Long as we don’t lab grow brains for food we should be good on that front.

Not necessarily, most of the known prions we associate with cannibalism are neurological, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any that primarily affect other parts of the body that require proteins that aren’t infectiously badly folded.

Where are the infectious prions coming from if it is lab grown meat? There should be the same risks with any other lab grown meat then, because prions are not something special to only human meat.

I’m pretty sure cannibalism is already legal in the United States. The problem is you can’t legally acquire human meat.

I don’t think cannibalism is illegal in many places, the problem with it is acquiring the meat.

I’d eat a Bell Delphine burger. I wouldn’t spend my own money on it, but I feel like that’d make for a fun story.
