Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS)
You have hit the single most important issue in the process. Currently, FBS is needed to grow the cells and there is no way around it. During experimentation, they are using serum from pregnant cows which are slaughtered but when this industry takes off an alternative has to be found!
There is no way (pregnant) cows will be slaughtered in such large numbers as it is an ethical issue. Scientists don’t really care about doing anything for research but people will not eat this meat if they know that animals have been harmed during the process.
