The horseshoe crab is a living fossil that's called Earth its home for almost half a billion years. And if you’ve ever had a vaccine, injection, or a medical implant, then you might not know that you’ve been relying on this prehistoric creature’s blood to save your life. Now, after decades of waiting, a new synthetic solution could change all of that.

People reluctant to change over to the synthetic solution should ask themselves what will happen once the horseshoe crab species goes extinct as a result of harvesting the blood. First the drug will become very expensive and scarce then it won't be available at all and in the end no alternative has been thought off to replace the blood harvesting for the cure. We are lucky to have bright minds and scientists that have thought of finding a solution for this.

@FalconFastest123 5 лет назад

So the crabs lay thousands of eggs each, most of which get eaten by birds... And of those humans harvest, only 15% die, yet somehow they are nearing extinction? Assuming that's true, it seems like it would be far easier to just farm the crabs in a controlled environment where there are no predators to eat their eggs, and the reproduction rates would be more than self-sustaining for all human use going forward.
