In-Vitro meat is the manufacturing of meat products through "tissue-
engineering" technology. Cultured meat (= in-vitro meat) could have
financial, health, environmental, and animal welfare advantages over
traditional meat. The idea: To produce animal meat, simply without
using an animal. Starting cells are taken painlessly from live
animals, they are put into a culture media where they start to
proliferate and grow, independently from the animal. Theoretically,
this process would be efficient enough to supply the global demand for
meat. All this would happen without any genetic manipulation, i.e.
without the need to interfere with the cells' genetic sequences.

What do you think about this start of such visionary ideas?
there is also a new consortium of scientists on this issue, see
