While watching the BBC news at 10, I was half fascinated and half horrified by a piece on a scientist who is growing meat from stem cells in order to cater to the worldwide demand for food.
They reckon it's more environmentally friendly, animal welfare friendly and 'efficent' than farming
With one cow producing enough cells for a million burgers. Although I can see the for arguements, I'm not convinced on the merits of meat grown in a lab by men in white coats (could just be my paranoid side though
) and don't welcome the thought of a world with less farm animals
So, what's eveyone's thoughts on this - is it one step too far ?
