Device That Grows Meat in Your Kitchen Wins Design Prize (Switched)
Sep 27th 2009 4:37AM It would be nice to think that design prizes were awarded for things that might actually WORK. The claim that this is based on "science fact" is utter baloney, and the interview with the designer makes it entirely clear that he hasn't the foggiest notion of the physiological processes that would be needed to synthesise muscle tissue.
Of course, it has been done before in science fiction, so the idea isn't even original. I refer you to Pohl and Kornbluth's magnificent dystopic vision in The Space Merchants. Well worth reading, and more scientifically credible than this farrago of nonsense.
PhD, chemistry.
