I've found a lot of non-religious vegans who object to meat consumption on the supposed grounds of animal cruelty, also oppose lab-grown meat.

One of the the arguments I've seen used in the past is the high water usage and emissions of early lab-grown meat products. Once development brings those down, like in this case, I'll be interested to see whether they still remain anti-meat.

Once you strip away sentience, you only really have 'living entity' left, which plants also are.
