Hi Abby,
I don’t really understand why you’re upset with me, but a) they’re cultured
cell lines, not animals, b) they might cure people, c) I don’t do experiments,
d) modern slavery, dated today:
Hah, fair. I do hope somebody does see it and gives it a thought.
Thanks,
Ben

Dear Richard,
Thank you, that’s interesting. There is also something called an “etymological
fallacy”. I think current usage is more useful here than the “science of
truth”, i.e. the Ancient Greek idea that the (sometimes inferred) derivation of
a word allows us to grasp “the truth of it”.
he historically
inclined, it does not make much of a difference whether the term evokes the
Roman, Greek, American or modern kind of slavery for you: it is as
disgusting as it gets.
Thank you,
Ben
