I fail to see the objection to WHERE a drug comes from. So what if venom is involved? If the final drug given out is shown by tests ( YES, the tests have to be valid) to be OK, so what?
This seems to be sorta like how some veggie types go on and on about how the NH4 used in THAT fertilizer is bad since it came from petroleum as opposed to cow pats. Ammonia is ammonia, its path is irrelevant.
What? Holy water is really different? (I'm not taking a swipe at religion -- the chemistry is at issue).

As to using venom, there are at least 20 existing drugs. This is not new tech.

thanks! you saved me from having to type the same.
