  stealing other people’s cells to eat them

  This will become a sex thing for sure

      Well if they combine that with 3D printed cell scaffolds they can eventually make a flesh fleshlight out of their own cells

        The time is coming for the most involved “go fuck yourself” ever.

    There’s a (pretty great) movie where cannibalism is treated as a substitute for sex. It’s called Aamis.

    3D printed cell scaffolds combined with this mean you can shape them

    Now I wonder if someone has actually tried making a dildo from cultured flesh and skin

  But it’s still cannibalism, yeah? If someone consented to be eaten before they died or even wished for it, would you be OK with eating them?

  • Sanctus@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    We have to draw some sort of line here though. Will this give you prions? Does this end the persons life like traditional cannibalism usually does? Theres a lot to unpack in these tiny man steaks. I’d still rather people be growing their own meat at home in a petri dish than having animals locked in cages for eternity.

      In the current hypothetical:

      1. It’s screened, you can’t legally sell prion meat

      2. It’s taken nonlethally as a sample from a consenting human, possibly you

    would you be OK with eating them

    are they yummy ?

      Haven’t tried it, you’ll have to make your own judgement there!

    So, if it were the original cells, then it would be autocannibalism, since these are cloned cells (from what I gather) it’s technically not the same thing.

    source

    • Godric@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yeah, I’m also unsure how I feel about it, I asked because it’s such a strange thing to think about

      Well your body technically canabalises itself if you starve to death

    This is unironically one of my favourite questions to ask new friends. I’ve gotten a variety of answers, but my own response has always been yes, if the person was healthy and had clearly consented.

    In my opinion, cannibalism is bad for two main reasons, 1) it can be unsafe if the person was ill, the meat has spoiled, or if it’s done too often (this has been studied in cannibalistic rituals) and 2) it’s unethical if the person doesn’t consent to it.

    Eating animal meat is non consensual and there can be diseases in there too - many people have died from it. Just because it’s more socially acceptable, I don’t really see it as an ethically better decision.

      Damn, I love your response, even though I don’t know of I agree! Are you Vegan?

      I personally see it as No, because I see us humans as special. Speaking as an atheist, end of day, we are special as humans.

      I eat meat, I try to limit it to the ethically harvested. Hunted, family farm grown, it even tastes the best, any concerns aside. But eating a person is WRONG, consent or no.

      • abfarid@startrek.website ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Why if it wrong though? And why/how are people special? You didn’t provide any reasoning to either.

      • Guntrigger@sopuli.xyz ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        It’s interesting that you ask if they are vegan, as if understanding the ethical problems of eating meat would only be valid if you are also strictly vegan.

        You evidently understand it is not completely ethically correct to eat animals in all circumstances, as you say you only eat ethically harvested meat. But you also say you believe humans to be special as a reason to eat animals, so why not eat all animals under all circumstances?

        The main point though, why would it still be wrong to eat human meat if lab grown and consensual?

      • garbagebagel@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I’m not vegan or vegetarian anymore because I have a lot of allergies that prevent me from eating plant based anything. But I also try to limit it to locally and ethically harvested when I do eat meat.

        I identify as agnostic and definitely don’t believe that any one living being is better or more special than the others (except maybe cats).

    If you’re eating yourself I think it’s autophagy

    As long as it’s not coerced, yes (not the brain).

• bdonvr@thelemmy.club ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  As long as you aren’t stealing other people’s cells to eat them without their consent it seems more ethical than the current meat industry.

  Even if you did, while super weird as long as you didn’t get the cells through violence it’s probably still more ethical than the meat industry.

  • Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    You can probably use some violence and still come out ahead. I don’t know how to do that math though.
