RE: Horseshoe Crabs And Why We’re All Vampires - Steem STEM

Yeah I just found out about this a while back and was totally disgusted. they are actually under watch at this point and are one grade before endangered. There has to be a way to create a synthetic substitute that is commercially viable this is pretty horrific :( .

Sort:  

they've made the substitute but the commercial enterprises behind the pharmaceutical companies don't want to lose their commodity (horse shoe crab). There's millions of dollars invested in their blood draining.

there's one major pharameucitcal company that plans to begin using rFC to test 90% of it's medicines by 2019.

:( fuck them burn them to the fuking ground :( and good for the one wanting to change
