Look I’m all for science and modern medicine, but there is absolutely no fucking way that I would trust anything from a biotech startup in the USA. There’s absolutely no safeguards in place to prevent these people from doing the most depraved shit for a buck. Same reason I’m so leery of organ donation in the USA, these ghoulish companies will destroy hospitals for profit, you think they’re not itching to rip your organs out as soon as possible to make even more money? I get it, organ donation is objectively good. Don’t get mad at me, get mad at our insane capitalist hellscape.
