Every Dog Has Its Day

Well, before you get too emotional about the possible-evil of legless
cows, think about headless, or at least only core-brained cattle
clones with no cognition, and thus no pain or agitation.  It's worth
some consideration.

It's not too different from the also real-projected future of
vat-grown human replacement organs.  I mean, if you could grow human
organs ethically, the same is probably true about beef or other animal
meat.  I'm sure there are LOTS of reason to be cautious of this
future, but the benefits of artificially grown human organs makes at
least that side of the equation worth considering seriously.  And if
the quality-control of organs grown for human-transplant is
acheivable, then the same for human consumption should be that much
easier.
