Yes, but the lab meat you're talking about is not made like ju-st thinks it is. Current (expensive) lab-meat is made by directly growing tissue, without growing a full animal.
In contrast parent ju-st talks about artificially fertilising livestock, perhaps with accelerated growth.
In terms of ethics, the second procedures seems at least not worse than factory farming. The animals in the second one would need to live less long in order to produce the same amount of meat, and also you'd stop having some unwanted animals like male chicks.
However I really hope that lab-grown tissue becomes the standard for meat production.
