This night I have found other question which could help (at least
to me) to clarify positions:
Would vegs agree on consumtion of artificial meat? By this, I want to
say muscles grow in an artificial manner, feeded with nutritive liguids
suministrated throught plastic arterias. Even some electroshocks could
be applied to put such thing on shape. Pure mechanicism, with no genetic
issues or monster nightmares involved (Well, I admit that the image of
a big hall crowded with rows of muscles atached to metalic bones and
going up and down following electrical dischargue is a good one for
a nighmare. But the point is that no animals are involved).
Now, suposse that such thing can be done in the future and that the
productive mechanism (e.g., a non-capitalist one) gives you the needed
security about the quality and nutritive value. Take your time
to think the answer: would you eat such thing?
Alejandro
