We need horseshoe crabs not to evolve so we can test the safety of vaccines. We use a certain component in their blood. Which may add a bit of a bleak note to this. 😬
in good news, the FDA and USP, along with some other national health agency across the globe have approved an alternative called rFC that is easy to produce at scale, so they're actually ramping down horseshoe crab harvesting now
