I have done work with tissue culturing, and I have grown interested in 
animal tissue culuring.  I live amoung many farms and when I hear of the 
trouble with raising livestock, I wonder if it is possible to grow edible 
meat products in a lab, as muscle, nerve, and cardiovascular tissue have 
been successfully cultured.  Thanks!
