Random but is artificial/lab-cultured meat kosher?

It's complicated.

First, there are a lot of potential Halakhic issues we need to dissect:

-Ever Min HaChai: The prohibition against consuming meat from an animal that is still alive. Currently, "lab-cultured meat" utilyzes cells from a still living animal. Would that be considered eating flesh from a live animal? How small a quanitity of live cells would it have to be to not constitute Ever Min HaChai?

-Is the "source" animal kosher/ fit for consumption?: If the animal isn't kosher, how small would the amount of cells have to be that they're not regarded?

-Mar'it Ayin: The custom to not do something that might appear as doing an Averah so as to not lead others astray. If the artificial meat, whether or not it's just really good plant-based imitation or lab-grown, looks like inherently non-kosher meat like pork, would it constitute as Mar'it Ayin for a kosher-keeping Jew to eat? If a kosher-keeping Jew is seen eating it, would we have to worry that someone would think it's actually pork, and be led astray?

These are some of the many discussions that are taking place among Halakhic authorities.

With that in mind, "lab-cultured meat" hasn't yet been released for general consumption, and is still in the experimental stage. The Halakhic status of "lab-cultured meat" is still up for debate, because it's extremely complicated. It's at the moment, a very deep Makhloket- Halakhic debate.

"Impossible Pork", highly realistic plant-based "pork", has been ruled as non-kosher by the Orthodox Union because of concerns of Mar'it Ayin. The ingrediants in "Impossible Pork" are kosher, and indeed other "Impossible" products are certified kosher, but the Orthodox Union would not give its certification. Whether other kashrut agencies will certify it remains to be seen.

Now, my personal opinion: I'm vegetarian. I'm also very much aware of the laws of Ever Min HaChai. For myself, I don't think I'd eat "lab-cultured meat". I don't eat meat anyway, so I don't really have any desire to have meat. It just feels halakhically grey and icky to me, too. But, that's my personal choice, and "lab-cultured meat" isn't on the market yet, and I'm by no means a halakhic authority.

I really need to embrace the cringey part of me that obsesses and fanboys over some guy who's been dead for 20 years but also it's really embarrassing.

Getting all giddy over a fictional guy is one thing but when it's a real guy .😭
