Fava beans, anyone? Growing steaks from human cells not 'technically' cannibalism, makers say | Daily Mail Online

You are what you eat: Scientists create 'grow-your-own' steak kit using HUMAN cells and blood - but insist it is not 'technically' cannibalism
- Researchers dubbed the meat Ouroboros Steaks, after the snake eating itself
- They culture human cells in growth serum made from discarded human blood
- The concept was nominated for a 2020 'Beazley Designs of the Year' award
- Experimental home chefs will be disappointed to learn the kits are not for sale
- Instead, the team hoped to draw attention to ethical issues with lab-grown meat
- Despite claims to being cruelty-free, these still need animal-derived serums
