Related to this question: Does artificial meat grown in a petri dish have the halachic status of meat?
Assuming that in vitro meat becomes widespread and assuming that it would be hechshered per the above question, would the source material be able to be derived from neveilot (kosher animal, not slaughtered properly) or non-kosher animals, or would it need to be derived from properly shechted ones?
Answer
According to the source in this answer to that question, Rabbi Menachem Genack of the OU had been quoted as saying
The tissue samples would have to come from an animal that had been slaughtered according to kosher rules
