It&#8217;s already possible and is being done through bio-fabrication which is environmentally responsible, efficient, and humane. This is a great first-step in introducing lab-grown products like Lab-Grown Burgers, and the leather can even be grown to exact shapes, thickness, color, and texture. Watch this (short) excellent talk by Andras Forgacs which argues that biofabricating meat and leather is a civilized and intelligent way to move past killing animals for hamburgers and handbags. .
