hi Wendy!
Thanks for your comment. And for listening!
Here is the background info on the lab meat project I was referring to:
http://www.new-harvest.org/faq.htm
The FAQ above addresses your concern. "Meat" can be made without killing the animal according to the above information. And you're right that it might not end all suffering - perhaps nothing will - but the importance of reducing suffering is critical at this point, as you noted.
I wasn't touting it as the ideal situation - I think that, right now, trying to get the information about modern farms out there in an honest, thoughtful way is one of the best bets. That's why I think the "Adopt-A-College" program through Vegan Outreach is very effective and worthwhile.
