Sorry if my question was weird.

And no, I am not some human's pet that just became intelligent and took over their Lemmy account. ๐Ÿ˜บ

I knew how to read some words at 3 years old

killing pigs feels wrong

Of course it feels wrong, they're living creatures. We should develop lab meat as a priority, but for now they must use hormones from cow fetuses to make it grow, which kind of defeats the purpose...

Lab meat would only benefit first world countries. The others would have to pay fortunes for licensing the techniques, and that's if the developing countries ever get to the point where they can use the process.

Of course, that's why we must opensource the research. But first we need to get rid of the need for fetal bovine serum, which is exactly what you think it is.

Of course, that's why we must opensource the research.

You're funny if you think that will ever happen. No 1st world country will miss the chance to foster the economic dependency of developing nations.
