@Mr. GOH! Would that still be the case even if lab-grown meat was perfected to the point that it was completely indistinguishable from meat grown on a living animal? Like what if they can clone your thigh muscle for a transplant after an injury, and it will be perfect and identical in every way to your real thigh muscle from before the injury, and they use the exact same techniques to grow food meat as well? Would you consider that to be "really" [animal] meat, or is it still just [animal]-like?
