    I’m imagining the terrible they’ll have keeping the factory absolutely sterile, since it won’t have an immune system

    On the other hand they’ll have to make some pretty good medical advances, for example synthetic blood, unless they can also grow bones and marrow

      Milk factories already have this solved.

      This will not hold anything back, keeping an entire production line sterile is not a big problem.

            No, to sterilize it they pasteurize the milk. If you use that process on meat you turn it grey

              It is the other way around.

              Milk comes in contaminated and you have to kill the existing bugs.

              With this process, it starts out by killing off everything on the equipment with heat treatment, you then grow your sterile “meat” in a sterile environment.
