Pretty sure it would be considered cannibalism and made illegal
Prion City here we GOOOOOOOOO!
Where are the infectious prions coming from if it is lab grown meat? There should be the same risks with any other lab grown meat then, because prions are not something special to only human meat.
Long as we don't lab grow brains for food we should be good on that front.
Not necessarily, most of the known prions we associate with cannibalism are neurological, but that doesn't mean there aren't any that primarily affect other parts of the body that require proteins that aren't infectiously badly folded.
I'm pretty sure cannibalism is already legal in the United States. The problem is you can't legally acquire human meat.
I don't think cannibalism is illegal in many places, the problem with it is acquiring the meat.
