Lab grown meat already exists. The same processes could easily make human meat without harming the human.

I’m fairly certain this will at some point lead to a social media fad of people trying, well, people. It seems like every possible stupid action has already been turned into one at this point https://eu.app.com/story/news/world/2024/03/07/what-is-tiktok-chroming-trend/72879475007/

Onlyfans creators already sell stuff like toenail clippings and bathwater https://kotaku.com/belle-delphine-onlyfans-paypal-pornhub-bath-water-1851491916

Wouldn’t be difficult to imagine people buying meat made of their favourite creator. What they do with it is between them and their god.

    I mean i theory we can clone mammals, the problem is it would take a long while for your “buddy” to grow up to a usable size

      The problem with cloning would also be that a clone of a human is a human with all rights and limitations, the “buddy” would be a slave.

          Performing a lobotomy to a human sounds highly illegal in itself, but as far as I know are lobotomized humans still humans with all human rights.

            Well, that’s fair enough, but i think we already abandoned legality of the whole operation at the “growing entire human body” part

              I don’t think that there is a legal issue with that, as long as only a lifeless body is grown

                The problem with a lifeless body is it will quickly decompose, so it has to have basic functions like breathing and blood pumping

                  No brain but a microcontroller to give the right electric signals to the lungs and heart.

                  It is a fascinating Gedankenexperiment, very creepy and dark but fascinating

                    That could work, yes

                    (Bezos if you ever do this could you give us a cut of the profits? Thans in advance)

                    Also i think the word you are looking for is thought experiment (unless german was a stylistic choice)
