Are you serious about this? If so that standard seems pretty insane to me.
Like, we essentially can't do anything with animals with that...
Did you look at what community you're commenting on? Why are you so determined to use other animals?
Yes. That's the point. Animals are sapient beings with rights, not objects to "do things with".
That being said, I recognize how far out of the Overton Window that attitude is.
Positive thought: if cultured meat goes mainstream, I expect there will be demand for "ethically sourced" cell lines - or some ad campaign will use it as a selling point - and shift the idea of not exploiting animals just a tiny bit closer to the mainstream :)
It's the same standard that I use for young children. If doing the thing is not clearly in their best interest, I don't touch them without their consent.
So yes, just leave other animals alone. Pretty simple.
