    Well that’s an excessively low bar.

    On industrial farms there is zero quality of life so it’s not exactly a high bar…

    How are we getting these organs out? Killing them and then removing them? Or are we going to grow clusters and cut them out when needed?

    It sounds like a dystopian nightmare to me.

      They perform exactly the same function in the animals as they do for us, so they grow in the same location. Yes the animals would be butchered in the removal process. Why is that any more dystopian than killing them at a butcher?
