If they used human stem cells, cannibalism? Maybe. Tasty? Probably.

Cannibalism has been directly linked to the transmission of brain-related diseases. Although I’m sure further testing would be needed because that may not be the case with lab grown meat.

It would make for one hell of a research paper.
