Pain - especially chronic pain - can shorten one's life significantly, never mind one's quality of life. And people die from giving birth. It's possible to refuse those meds but I wouldn't call it exactly practical.

But really, what possible and practicable mean differs from vegan to vegan, the same way "thou shalt not kill" differs among different Christians. And it's the same with lab grown meat. There is a possible ethical consideration based on the sourcing of cell lines; some vegans may oppose lab grown meat based on that, other vegans might decide it's perfectly fine, still others would personally refuse to eat it but encourage its development for the sake of harm mitigation. Who knows. Put five vegans in a room and you'll have six different opinions.
