I’d agree that taking the sample is unethical, but if you’re growing the steak from a sample someone else got or fucking it the ethical lines get really blurry.
Idk, I don’t think they’re that blurry if we compare them to similar “conundrums” in other unethical circumstances.
Like, would you think the same of someone owning child porn? They don’t distribute it, they don’t film the children themselves, they just own the recordings. The law says they’re a criminal, but it seems like a similar ethical conundrum - no? (To be clear, I think eating meat sourced from someone who did not consent is wrong. I hope that says enough about how I feel about CP.)
How about owning the schematics for a ghost gun? You haven’t printed it, you haven’t distributed the schematic - you just own the schematic (and, for the purpose of the example, a 3d printer capable of printing the parts needed).
Seems like the answer is “it’s unethical”. Gonna need a third party to weigh in.
So I think it’s more like if u got a papermache piñata from some one that just so happened to be made of child porn and then u fucked that… Yeah seems unethical to me
Incoming: nonconsensual meat grown from samples illicitly taken against someone’s will.
Imagine the network of Taylor Swift DNA trading.
And you know someone is going to fuck it.
What are the ethics of fucking a steak made from a non-consenting Taylor Swift’s tissue sample?
Unethical??

The closest thing to this exact situation would be the HeLa immortal cell line and that situation is fuzzy as fuck.
TIL, thanks!

You aren’t seeing the big picture here…hear me out:
TRUMP STEAKS, but the real deal this time!!!

Meat is already produced without consent and much more violently then taking samples.
But how else will we know which neighbor tastes the best?
Wasn’t there a short story about this?
