Reluctant vegetarians may soon be eating steak again, if three Dutch
inventors鈥擶illem Van Eelen, Willem Van Kooten and Wiete
Westerhof鈥攈ave their way. The team has cooked up a method to mass produce
meat without causing suffering to animals, through industrial-scale cell
cultures (WO 99/31222/3). Small samples of cells are taken from an animal and
cultivated in nutrients on a spongy matrix of collagen. The process is said to
work with cells from cows, sheep, chickens and even shellfish such as oysters,
crabs and shrimps. The inventors say their experiments show that 鈥渆normous
quantities of cells can be obtained in a very short time鈥.
