It’s unethical because you can’t safely perform muscle biopsies at home, thus it is a violation of the duty of care, and culturing stratified squamous epithelium and calling it meat(and steak no less) is lying without any benefit to others, which is a fundamental ethical violation.
I think you would get the copy of a copy problem. DNA in cells degrade overtime. I think with lab grown meat this is much worse than normal human aging.

Cells were collected from a cheeck swab. And it’s not a real product, it’s an art project.
Yeah I know. Cheek cells are stratified squamous epithelium.

But couldn’t you just grow one steak and then take cells from it to grow more?

Good point, I don’t know much about this sort of thing.
