Richard Dawkins's Twitter is hilarious every once in a while, his tweet about eating human meat might be my favorite tweet ever because it demonstrates his brain worms so well.
Edit: here it is: https://twitter.com/RichardDawkins/status/1229715325324795904?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1229715325324795904%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww1.cbn.com%2Fcbnnews%2Fworld%2F2020%2Ffebruary%2Ffamed-atheist-richard-dawkins-considers-cannibalism-again
I see what he's going for, but it's answering a question that no one asked. He's a rebel without a cause.
He's saying the immorality of cannibalism comes from killing a person/disrespecting human remains. But if you grew human meat in a lab (from a volunteer's cells), then consuming such meat would be moral. So much is true, IMO. There'd just be no point to it and anyone who would do that would be rightly considered fucked up. Which is why he then hastens to add, "Not that I would do something like that".
Fuck I should've wrote a guardian article about how the mean airport person took away my scissors when I was 5 years old and moved to another country. BIN LADEN WON!!!!11111
I don't know if he is a vegan or not, but I do think he is against animal suffering. I'm not sure what you mean by "he is right" unless you are referring to the first tweet (in which case I agree) because the second tweet is just kind of a weird ramble about eating baby clones and specific people's placenta.

If and when lab-grown clone meat becomes a thing, there's going to be a human meat company with incredibly annoying marketing within 10 minutes

That is actually top tier boomer posting. The capitalised "STUPID" makes it, it almost reads like a Trump tweet

Is he vegan? Because that tweet is very similar to that way of thinking and he's right.

He's right to point out that there is similar moral questions about killing beings to eat their flesh whether that meat is human or non-human.
Reframing it as "would you eat lab-cultured human meat" is a good way to frame it outside of the "killing humans is different than cows" mindset.
