I was a vegan. I’m definitely going to buy no kill meat. No animals harmed, no health risk, all meat. I’m sold.

No animals harmed

They do use biopsies to extract the cells, so animals still need to be kept in captivity to supply this technology at scale. (Also not sure how painful those biopsies are 🤷‍♂️)
