| " Apparently, due to advances in plastics tech for containers, new hormone synthesis and cleaner nutrients supplies, it is possible to grow ma wider variety of tissues than ever before; An article in 'New Scientist' written by a tissue culture professor noted that one effect of this is that his Vegan students, on the lookout for ethicla sources of iron-rich food, are enquiring about taking a biopsy of _their_own_ livers and growing it for food - The liver is ideal as not only iron-rich, it is known to grow pretty easily if givn half a chance. he discourages it only because the nutrients are expensive and he would rather see then go into growing tissue for mediacl reasons, but otherwise has no objections."
