They intend to present the first experiment by this autumn

Keep in mind that
a) a vast amount of resources for agriculture are allocated to meat production
b) commercialized meat production becomes more and more ethically
questionable; while some have ethical reservations over stem-cell
research, I doubt that they are to be weighted higher in general when
they come into comparison with the reduction of suffering for animals
