Human cultured meat

Question

I've read meat cultured from a kosher source is kosher too, though nobody seems to know whether that's meat or parve. I've also been told one can consume flesh from a dead person in an extreme survival situation, and moreover that's parve.

So my question is what about meat cultured from a living person's flesh? There is no desecration of a dead body. And would it be parve too?

Would it make any difference whether the human source is anyone at random or, for instance, one self?

People swallow their own blood when gums bleed without even knowing it.

You can consume meat from a pig (or anything else) in an extreme survival situation as well. Note that swallowing blood from inside your mouth is permitted as long as it never leaves your mouth but swallowing blood from any other part of your body is forbidden by the rabbis. — Daniel, Mar 27 '17 at 20:05
And milk and meat only applies to kosher animals, so pork would be parev. — Clint Eastwood, Mar 27 '17 at 20:18

...why wouldn't it be pareve? I'm not sure I understand the question. Why would synthesizing something normally pareve make it meat? — MTL, Mar 27 '17 at 21:09
"meat cultured from a living person's flesh" Wouldn't that be eiver min hachai? — , Mar 27 '17 at 22:00

Thus, cultured meat from a nonkosher source is not kosher. — sabbahillel, Mar 27 '17 at 22:18
@Ploni no aiver min hahai is only by animals and birds https://www.sefaria.org/Shulchan_Arukh,_Yoreh_De'ah.62.1?with=all&lang=bi — hazoriz, Mar 27 '17 at 22:18
@hazoriz That's excluding fish and grasshoppers 9see Ba'er Hetev there). It doesn't say that it doesn't apply to humans. — , Mar 27 '17 at 22:22

@Ploni see the second prisha on the siman, that there is no aiver min hachay on, animals from a non kosher species https://www.sefaria.org/Tur,_Yoreh_Deah.62.1?with=Prisha&lang=bi, so it whould seem the burden of proof is on you that there is aiver min hahai on something other then kosher animals and birds — hazoriz, Mar 27 '17 at 22:28
@Ploni nice, but see the beer haitiv on the ramo that he quotes, it says nothing about aiver min hachay https://www.sefaria.org/Ba'er_Hetev_on_Shulchan_Arukh,_Yoreh_De'ah.79.4?lang=bi or you can see the original shach 79.3 that there is no lav to eat meat sposificly from a living person http://beta.hebrewbooks.org/tursa.aspx?a=yd_x4185 — hazoriz, Mar 27 '17 at 22:37
@Ploni sorry I am not sure it is so simple (you answer it). on the tzuras hadaf (link in my comment above) on the right side גליון מהרש״א brings an option that it is aiver min hahai — hazoriz, Mar 27 '17 at 22:49
@hazoriz regardless it would answer the question. The only discussion would be why it's assur. — , Mar 27 '17 at 22:51
@Ploni but it seems everyone agrees that things coming out of it I.e. milk and blood is not osser (exsept marris ayin), so maybe cultured meat is like blood and is permitted — hazoriz, Mar 27 '17 at 22:54
@hazoriz milk and blood are by-products of a person. Flesh is the actual person. — , Mar 27 '17 at 22:55

If human meat can only be consumed in a life threatening situation what would it matter if it is parve? Your example of blood from gums is covered in the kitzur. It's not considered consuming blood as it is considered as having not left the body unless it is first spit out
