If you're concerned about taste and health then which version of meat do you think would be more likely to be controlled for flavour and health giving properties: the uncontrolled environment of an animal wandering about in a field or the controlled environment of a vat?
I don't see how this has anything to do with PETA actually.
Also I am certainly not religious, and even take offence at the thought, but yet again I fail to see how that has anything to do with your ability to choose where your cut of animal flesh originates from.
Also, what ethical problem is there is eating meat ?!?
There's not a problem per se, more of an ethical gradient. Given the choice between meat that has been grown in a vat and meat that has been obtained by the death of an animal, I would choose the vat meat.
If there is no reason for human cultivation of said animals, there will be no need to keep a population of any size and the same animals will join the panda on the endangered list....
I would hazard a guess that most animals on the endangered list aren't there because of human over-consumption but rather habitat destruction due to increased human population. So I imagine that whilst this tech allows us to continue feeding ourselves with presumably less resources, this will confound the habitat destruction due to human overpopulation. Oh well... there's always soylent green.
I find it incredibly difficult to see how people concerned for the welfare of animals could possibly be against this technology. Besides this opens up other exciting culinary possibilities... like long pork!;)
It would be nice to say, one day, that the steak you are eating came from the last cow to die (be sequenced?) for human consumption. I for one welcome our cultured bovine over-done-lords.
Are there American laws regarding sousveillance? What would be the ramifications to a citizen who flew a ROV Blimp with camera gear and either filmed the other blimp or filmed the crowd in the stadium in the same fashion?
Well, the thing about a dark comet - its main distinguishing feature - is it's black. And the thing about space, the colour of space, your basic space colour, is black. So how are you supposed to see them?
nope, vegans wouldnt even eat a cloned cell, as it is a living part of an animal
So a vegan wouldn't sacrifice one last animal so that the rest of the population could live until eaten by a predator?
Religion never tries to describe how the world works. Whatever fairies you have at the bottom of your garden, telling you how the world should be, or why the world should be, have no relation as to what the garden is actually doing and how to describe it. You or I can manufacture gods to fill the gaps or fill the pews to the end of our days, but it has the same relevance as fiction does to an encyclopedia.
Perhaps you should have been modded insightful. It would be quite fitting to use their own law against them for the tragic satire that is most parliamentary debates.
At the end of the article it is stated that there is an upcoming experiment that could vaguely support their concept. That being said I think the New Scientist, Greene & Levin are being disingenuous when they refer to their concept as a "theory".
I'm voting for VASIMR (variable specific impulse magnetoplasma rocket). They are meant to be able to "change gears" from high thrust, low specific impulse to low thrust, high specific impulse and vice-versa. In theory you could use the same engine to climb out of Earth's gravity well, coast on the flat space-time bits inbetween, and then come wail on those pesky martians from the top of their gravity well. Suckers.

That's ok Google will just leak the contents of everyone's email to everyone else in Iran!
What's that you say? Gmail is blocked?
Missed it by that much....

In space, no-one can hear the dingo taking your baby...
Well-behaved people have nothing to fear from being seen sitting and drinking.
You've obviously never had a Vindaloo and warm English beer...

Who will think of the apex predators?
Time to crack out the champagne and christen the good ship Tubetanic as she sets off on her voyage to provide a data-haven in international waters?
I'm ready. No, seriously, I only just put this pirate costume on.
He was sleeping in R'ley and missed the call you insensitive clod!
My eyes! The goggles do nothing!
So you can lick their Chocolate Salty Cores?
Respect their parasitic computational authoritah!

Look this whole Anthropic Principle is getting ridiculous...
I've got a term for ya! A patch too far!

Extruding polygons has never been so... satisfying.

Nothing to see here.
No, seriously. Cybercriminals fast-fluxed my gag and now I've got nuttin'.
