A human guinea pig is wanted to become the first person in the world to eat a test-tube hamburger.
The burger, made with beef mince grown from stem cells, is less than a year away from being produced, Dutch scientists say. And they believe it could pave the way for eating meat without the need for animals being slaughtered.
The scientists predict that over the next few decades the world's population will increase so quickly that there will not be enough livestock to feed everyone.
As a result, they say, laboratory-grown beef, chicken and lamb could become normal. The scientists are currently developing a burger which will be grown from 10,000 stem cells extracted from cattle, which are then left in the lab to multiply more than a billion times to produce muscle tissue similar to beef. The product is called in vitro meat.

| I guess it boils down to if you have no choice then you would eat it, might end up being better than the foods we have now.

| Not so keen on the idea but if it means living then yes i would eat it, its like everything that we don't know about or use to, sounds scary but i bet it will be just as good.
