Would you eat lab-grown human meat?

I can tell you what I want to say I would do, and I can tell you what I know is real.

Like, I want to say, like, of course I would try it.

I'm a curious person.

I wanted to have every single experience.

I'm afraid of nothing, blah, blah, blah.

Somebody took me on a date once to this restaurant in Toronto...

where you could eat just like the brains of animals.

And I threw up right away.

And there was nothing about the food that was bad.

It was just like the idea that I was eating a brain and people have brains and you're not supposed to eat brains because people have brains like caused me to have a physical reaction where I vomited.

So I don't think I would eat.

Lab-grown human meat.

Human-grown lab meat would be a scientist who was murdered in his lab while working late one night.

But what about the argument that you've made, which is that if you create that world in which we can eat synthetic human meat and have like...

pj sandwiches or whatever you are reducing you're lowering the strength of this natural taboo against the sacredness of our bodies and then like perhaps creating a society that you don't want to live in

Basically, yeah, yeah.

The anthropologist who wrote this paper on the foray, the part that I found kind of most like, oh, shit.

Can I read you one more quote from the paper?
