Surely it'd be less cruel and it may even taste better but why is it that we're so willing to build monuments to tomorrow's technology instead of dealing with the very real and tangible reality we live in today. Perhaps I'm too realistic but I don't see why our every technological advance must be spawned from worsening conditions as the result of our actions and our endless obsession with convenience.
Simply put, lab-grown mystery meat isn't the solution to world hunger nor are fuel alternatives the solution to the adverse effect the auto industry has on our planet - it all stems from the fact that none of these band-aids we create are solutions to the original problem that we as a species are the biggest chink in the chain and that until we reexamine our role on this planet we'll only take significant steps towards the earths paralysis and our eventual extinction.
All of this technology and we still have yet to prove causality beyond the state of being a theory.
