Human steaks are real now.
How's that for a headline. Can 2020 get an weirder? Yes, scientists have made it possible to grow steaks from your own DNA, and not only that, but they want to make DIY kits for people to grow them from home.
Quote:
Scientists and designers from the US have created a ‘grow-your-own’ steak kit, which uses human cells and blood to pose a question to the cultured meat industry.
The Ouroboros Steak, named after the ancient Egyptian snake that eats itself, can be grown from cells scraped from the inside of your cheek and fed serum from old donated blood.
While the steak is currently just a prototype, and designed as a thought-provoking piece of art, it is a real piece of meat grown from human cells.
