Philosophy and Bioethics
<http://philosophyandbioethics.blogspot.com/2008/05/peta-paying-for-animal-testing.html>reports:
This seems a very unusual move from PETA (People for the Ethical
Treatment of Animals) they are offering to pay $1000000 to the first
group to develop commercially viable vat-grown meat.
While it is understandable why PETA would champion this (since vat
meat would remove in principle many (weak) justifications for meat
eating. However it seems in contrast with many of their previous
stands, the most obvious issue being that this will almost certainly
involve animal testing... Especially since they want it to taste the
same as existing meat...
