IVF Hamburger By End Of 2012

Great news for animal morality (and I don't say hunger)... but I am pessimistic since if they fail to "deliver" in that cost vs taste battle then people will stigmatize it for a long time to come (via MR):

"Cultured or in-vitro meat may still be years away from our supermarkets, but scientists in The Netherlands say they will be able to grow a hamburger by the end of this year.

Professor Mark Post, who is refining the meat-making process at Maastricht University, says once perfected, the technology could slash the environmental footprint of growing food. He predicts in-vitro meat could reduce the requirement for livestock by a factor of one million."
