  No. A randomly arranged amorphous mass of protein is not a drumstick. There is no bone, there is no skin, there is no cartilage, there is no connective tissue.

Just ditch the brain. If there’s no sentience, what is the ethical difference between this and vat-grown synflesh?

    A randomly arranged amorphous mass of protein is all I want from chicken. I remove the bones anyway.
