Ethics are not an absolute and are defined by the society in which they occur.

YOU think it's unethical. I happen to agree. We are in the minority.

And all of that is irrelevant to my point, which is that growing animals for organs is not LESS ethical than growing them for meat, and everyone seems fine with that.
