There is a great reason to do this: Some people will not eat meat because of the horrible ways that the animals have to be treated to get the meat into your plate.
That would be a +1 for many vegetarians. It would technically be part of winning the battle against "mean" practices.
There would also be other benefits to growing meat. You could grow it without impurities. You could grow it to contain certain usable vitamins. You could grow it to be 100% lean. You could modify the meat to grow to contain Omega 3 FAs.
There are all sorts of positive benefits to cloning meat and growing the meat in a lab.
However, I would not eat it unless it had been thoroughly tested and found to be very safe.

How on earth are you excluding the possibility of solving the problem of famine, from your list? That should surely be a higher priority than accommodating to a person's lifestyle choice.

.....because you already mentioned it? Dude, I try not to steal other people's ideas. If I was to mention that, I would have to put something like "And like Chil said, it would help during famine". You words spoke for themselves so I didn't feel the need to rehash what you said.
How about next time you post, "Yes, those are all great additional points to famine."
Famine could be solved right now, without the use of cloning, though cloning could only help it happen faster. Each year, 1st world countries destroy millions of tons of livestock and produce, to keep the market value up.
Oh, on the idea of the cloned meat beign pc to vegetarians, you know they'll have a problem with it somehow.

Fair enough, though you wouldn't have had to put anything of a sort.

If I thought they were great points, I may well have done. However, I don't think they are.

Both great points.

Of course...I was being an smart ass by that point. 😛

I understood the humor...sometimes I take a humorous comment seriously and comment on it just to have made the point to add to the discussion. Your post was a nice starting point for my thoughts on the thread.

I agree. I wouldn't eat cloned meat because how we be 100% sure it is safe?
If scientists can't even clone a sheep properly, what makes them think we'd be okay with eating clone meat? The idea just makes me feel sick.
I guess we can stop slaughtering the precious 'animals' now we can just clone a piece of steak. 🙄
No need to kill that lamb, that cow, that pig, lets be overrun with animals and clone everything, yay! 😘

No, they are cloning cells...not animals. They are growing meat in dishes, in labs.😐

Way to miss the presumed point
