Would vegetarians refuse to eat meat if that meat came from a test tube rather than from a dead cow? Apparently not.
From wired.com:
In a measure to protect animals by any means necessary, PETA is offering a $1 million prize to the first scientist who can produce lab-grown meat in bulk.
For me, this is way better than the Ansari X Prize: Why visit space when you can just as easily take a trip to heaven with some cantaloupe wrapped in high-tech prosciutto? As a vegetarian and a biological scientist, I'm thrilled by yesterday's announcement and eager to start loading my plate with tissue-engineered bacon.

Mmmmmmm.......Test tube bacon.........
And, just for the record, I think PETA sucks. They use brute force and bullying to get their point across instead of using logic and persuasion to foster real debate.
