The first human organ created inside an animal opens the door to manufacturing ‘spare parts’ for people

Edit: Surprised at all the vegans in this thread. I didn't think there were so many of you. I'm glad you care so much about animal rights, that you're willing to forego eating them and using products made from them. If you're not vegan and have moral objections for this, maybe you should look at yourself first and all the animal abuse you sanction by eating animals and using animal products. Did you know dairy cows have to be pregnant to produce milk? They're artificially inseminated throughout most of their lives. I hope everyone complaining about this also complains about ice cream and cheese. Or else they would be hypocrites who just want to blame others but never look at themselves.

Cattle are important and precious. There are already immoral practices brought by capitalism while raising animals for slaughter. This doesn't imply that it's moral to now bring an animal to life just to steal its organs as well.
Organ transplant can be achieved artificially by just developing the organs themselves in the lab. There already has been work done in that regard.
They'd literally be extinct if not for domestication. They evolved to be slow, stupid, and delicious
They were literally force breed by humans. They did not "evolve" to be like that.
Gonna play a drinking game with all the people who don't understand that force breeding does indeed evolve a creature.
One drink for every person confidently stating inaccuracies about this. So far I'm at 4.
Going to a cookout, so the beers will go great with the burgers.
That is literally evolution.
No, it's breeding. Maybe brush up on your biology buddy.
selective breeding still results in evolution, its just the result of artificial rather than natural selection
No, it is (artificial) selection but not evolution.
Artificial selection is a potential mechanism of evolution.
Artificial Evolution is still Evolution. Selective breeding and genetic manipulation just speed it up a few thousand years.
Stupidity clearly doesn't belong only in cattle.
Yeah it also belongs to vegans
