Are you ready for a test-tube burger?
According to several sources, including News Max, Dutch scientists have told Scientific American magazine that they are currently working to create laboratory-grown beef, with their goal possibly being achieved by next year. The News Max article states that scientists are taking beef mince that is grown from the stem cells of cattle, which is then allowed to multiply more than a billion times, essentially creating beef. It is not yet known if the in-vitro meat will taste like actual meat, but the scientists involved think that this may be a necessary option if the world is faced with a shortage of livestock, according to the article.
Taste tests on the test-tube meat will be needed, and as News Max mentions, the Dutch scientists working on this project will be looking for "a courageous person who is willing to be the first to taste it."
