Comment Cell culture with or without FBS? (Score 4, Interesting) 69

So the thing about growing mammalian cells in a dish is that the soup they grow in most likely contains fetal bovine serum (FBS)... You know, a byproduct taken from the blood of cow fetuses.

Growing muscle cells is any quantity is already hard as it is, growing them in FBS free cell medium is really cutting-edge research. Always makes me wonder: Are these company always 100% honest about their process? And if they use FBS without telling their customers, is that ethical? Let alone sustainable in the long term?

Anyway, just a thought :-)

I'm with you on that one. My parents watch me struggle day to day with short term contracts, inability to buy a house, student debt, so little pension it's laughable...

Why in fuck's name would I want that for my own kids? That's just fucking selfish. If YOU really feel concerned about the Future of the Human Species, get yourself a second hand pooper, plenty of them to go about.

And die miserable and be forgotten? Who gives a shit, and that's why we have places like Dignitas.
