There is already a synthetic version approved in EU. US just refuses to use it. NPR article about it

Already have

"A synthetic alternative was later invented and has since been approved in Europe as an equivalent to the ingredient that requires horseshoe crabs. But in the U.S., the blood harvest isn't shrinking. It's growing." - source

It's not. Somewhere along the way (at least in US) there was a "movement" for "body positivity", which is great, when applied reasonably. It should be "we all have things we don't like about ourselves, but so does everyone, so love you". That's totally reasonable. That's healthy. That's fantastic for younger people who see all the "influencers" and "models" or fashion images, and feel bad about themselves.

What it turned into was "no matter how unhealthy/obese you are, love your body, and be outspoken about it". So, regardless of being 400lb, incredibly unhealthy, and doing major damage to yourself, love and be proud of your body.

Hell, some of my most formative years were the heroin chic era. It's equally damaging, in the opposite direction. At least women's clothing models are looking more and more like "normal" women, in a lot of cases.

I was thinking the same thing. Unless I drop mine, or can't find the screens, it'll last forever. Plus it tastes better to me anyhow

Yes, but I’m sure your gastroenterologist told you that carbonated drinks can exacerbate IBS issues, so probably not a good choice.

Unfortunately, no. There are a handful of emails, that no matter what I do, always go to the spam folder. I was told making them VIP would keep them out of the spam folder, but I can say with certainty that’s not true.

Absolutely. Ask Apple. Even the “VIP” all end up in the spam folder all the time too, and there’s no way to tell it “this isn’t spam”.

I mean, if you don’t understand that fundamental concept, there’s no helping you.

I’m pretty sure he bible doesn’t explicitly state that abortion is murder or even bad. It’s interpretation.

Society absolutely shouldn't care what happens to it, until it can function outside of the mother by itself.

The caveat is intent though. If the mother INTENDS to keep the pregnancy to term, then yes, there should be some limitations on what she does to it. Eg no drinking while pregnant or other SCIENTIFICALLY backed things that can damage the potential baby.

And people still use them when they see fit, with little repercussions.

No, the “zygote” doesn’t have the ability to live without the life support from the mother. It isn’t sentient. It isn’t a fully developed being. It’s a clump of cells. It doesn’t get a say in the matter. Mostly because it can’t.
