Chicken eggs are already used to harvest helpful proteins called antibodies to protect humans from viruses such as influenza. Now, a breakthrough at the University of Missouri could one day lead to chickens that produce other useful medical proteins in their eggs.

If HRT stops being vegan I’m gonna flip My fucking lid.

Estrogen is made from soybeans or other plants, unsure about progesterone and testosterone. It’s possible pills can sometimes be made with lactose or something but the hormones themselves are usually vegan
That’s cool. I thought that the estrogen in soy was phytoestrogen or something like that, a plant equivalent that doesn’t affect animals? Guessing there’s some processing step to transform it?
Probably! I don’t know much about the process

For context, it used to be made with pregnant house urine, but using plants is now cheaper and more ethical. Hormone related stuff always seems to start with some animal suffering.

How do i get my house pregnant? I gotta do my part for the housing shortage!
lol, I meant horse, but this made me wonder if maybe the evil and intimidating horse has a reason to hate trans lesbians 🤔
I’m sure if we can make eggs produce it, its probably cheaper to make plants produce more
yes, let us become more relient on animal cruelty and enslavement
Who knows, maybe this backfires and conservatives stop eating eggs because they give you the gay.
Backfires? Seems like the ideal outcome
We already are. I admit that I know very little about the topic, but are we not reliant on animal cruelty for: insulin, antivenom, spider silk, and many more where alternatives would be expensive or even non existent? Though I do agree in this case with HRT, because I love injections and I find them relatively cheap. Feel encouraged to correct me.
i’m not super informed on those subjects, but i did not mean to imply that humanity is not currently relying on animal cruelty. my point is just that we should not increase that relience. i think we should really do everything we can to minimize it (short of killing/starving ourselves)

Eggs taste better.
“The cruelty is the point”
In hierarchical society higher power and status creates more externalized suffering, so the creation of externalized suffering gets inversely associated with power, virtue, and validity to justify the structure.
Get ready for an estradiol egg contract to show up on Egg Inc. lol
chicken eggs are useful in producing weakened viruses, not antibodies, thats very different, they usually use other animals like horses, rabbits for anti-venim.
