Sure. I mean, I would consider it based on the same criteria as other foods. It would be absurd to refuse it on an "icky" basis while giving industrial meat a pass.

    20 to 30 years before it's commercially viable

This seems like a vast timeline. We already have semi-tolerable plant-based meat substitutes. We can already keep brain-dead bodies alive indefinitely. I predict that we will have commercially viable meat-like products produced using animal DNA by 2025.
