    I’m sure the majority would c it as cannibalism, with a similar logic as many other things majority settles on – taboo is bad.

    Personally, I’m not sure what cannibalism means, I suppose if u could say it’s eating some1 who u could’ve had a conversation with at some point. In which case, no, no cannibalism.

    I’d take any lab created meat, human or not, over killing real animals. The issue is it’s likely monopoly & capitalism. I’m assuming this wouldn’t b the kinda tech that most/all meat producers would b able to access – so u got possible health/security cover-ups to save the azz of the company.

    FWIW, human flesh is not very calorically dense, compared to other animals more commonly eaten, like cattle or boars.

    I’d try it. But I’d also try ethically-sourced real human meat. Don’t ask me what that would be though cause I have no idea.

    I would try it, but unless they engineered prion disease out of it, I would not be a regular consumer, regardless of how good it may taste.

    I wouldn’t, whether its cannibalism or not.

    Idk if it would count as cannibalism or not but I would 100% try it, at least once.
