Famous Atheist: Let's Eat Human Meat

Over the weekend, famed atheist Richard Dawkins had a novel suggestion for the future: eating human meat.

Dawkins was responding to a story in the Independent which described “clean meat,” or, in other words, meat grown in laboratories made from stem cells harvested from living cattle.

Josh Tetrick, CEO of clean meat manufacturer JUST, had told CNN that the first items could be available to consumers for human consumption "before the end of 2018.” He told The Guardianthat the path to public acceptance of cultured meat is obstructed by “gnarly problems, communication issues, regulatory issues.”

The Independent reported, “But one recent study revealed one third of Americans would be willing to eat clean meat regularly or as a replacement for farmed meat. To reach that point, companies will have to bring down the cost of mass production.”

In 2014, the animal rights activists at PETA offered $1 million to the first scientist to produce and sell in vitro chicken meat.

But Dawkins envisions himself as more far-seeing than everyone else. Hence this tweet:

Tissue culture “clean meat” already in 2018? I’ve long been looking forward to this.https://t.co/p41NR3NEZnWhat if human meat is grown? Could we overcome our taboo against cannibalism? An interesting test case for consequentialist morality versus “yuck reaction” absolutism.

Dawkins is the same guy who said in 2017, “When I see cattle lorries, I think of the railway wagons to Auschwitz.”

Once you’ve literally equated animals with humans (not hard if you don’t believe humans were created in God’s image because you don’t believe in God), why shouldn’t you champion eating human meat?

Oh, and Richard? Don't forget the ketchup.
