Hi:
    If you profess to have an ethical objection to animal experiments, as opposed to
being merely squeamish, then the above stance is a complete cop-out.  Animals are
still used to produce the antibodies you avail yourself of, and fetal calf serum is
almost universally used in animal cell culture.

Wayne.
