THE THESIS: TWO TECHNOLOGIES, TWO CLOCKS, ONE CARCASS Cultivated meat and precision-fermented dairy are filed under the same heading and they are not the same problem. Cultivated meat targets the carcass, and its route to market is blocked by the biology of structured tissue—replicative limits, differentiation collapse, and oncogenic risk.
