- The horseshoe crab is a living fossil that's called Earth its home for almost half a billion years. And if you’ve ever had a vaccine, injection, or a medical implant, then you might not know that you’ve been relying on this prehistoric creature’s blood to save your life. Now, after decades of waiting, a new synthetic solution could change all of that.

Less humans???
No more war.
Yeah. Let's stop eating animals.

At least we are going in the right direction.
Plant more trees.. Back to basics... Less wastage.. No plastic.. Save the ground water...do not pollute ground water.. Proper handling of waste... All kinds.. And each and every person should take ownership of this planet.
They don’t even get a juice box and a cookie after donating blood?!
A juice box and a cookie is doners right!
They didn't even give them a Balloon " I donate blood"

More like im about to end this whole species
😅😂 Sad but true
Lol ikr so sad
Every animal has survived half a billion years. It's just that they have evolved more than the horeshoe crab
@@atallsteve that's not true
The Mid Atlantic coast of the US used to have tons of these on beaches when I was a kid 20 years ago. Now I'm lucky to find one corpse, let alone a live one.
sad
Same, never been able to find any.
In cape May in New Jersey they are still plentiful. Still see many in the surf
yep , (w)hoMAN , (w)ho(MONEY)ty , ... so sad , in a price of everythings life humans deevolve instead evolve . soooo sad .
Caucasians
You would think that after all they have given to us, we could potentially help them from extinction.
Scientists: lmao look at all this money!
If it were just a matter of money they would use the synthetic option, changing anything in medicine is a lengthy and difficult process.
The lives of these animals are worth more than a scientist. Just imagine what we have done to this world. If you look back all the way you will realize that without pollution or anything like that our world can thrive again.
The lives of a crab aren’t worth the lives of a person but I do agree we need to find a way to save them.
Scientists: look at all this money!
My brain: *lOoK aT aLl tHeSe cHicKeNs*
Renegade Fusion but think about it, if the blood can save us then they are actually worth something.
Make the crab legs longer and you get a face hugger. Scary!
More like a Headcrab from HL
It's cute
@@mekhane.broken9678 It's already a demon even without flipping it lol
I want someone to hug me face and give it a bit of a massage
Singapore you are brilliant!!
Western medicine was fully prepared to let these creatures die
But you came along and saved the world ❤️
"Science cannot move forward without heaps of dead animals"
Not true.
Humans work just as well.
@@oldnosoul4183 Not at all, you are just too dump to understand. Without innovation In science, humanity won't have survived. The whole humanity would be extinct by TB, polio, or even just common flu if it wasn't for those scientists who developed medicines. We need to test subjects to tests prototypes on someone and it's more ethical to test on animals rather than humans.
@@n3gi_ no you're dump.
Kiwi Chan no we’re dump

Someone from Lilly pharma fighting for an ethical cause? Am I dreaming?
Using a synthetic is probably cheaper than gathering a diminishing number of crabs so there's that.
@@sws212 Overpricing Insulin by 500% (compared to the prices we have in germany for the exact same product) for people who need it to literally live, there's that
nah - he seems like he's just a scientist? Unethical companies have tons of ethical people behind them. I don't think most scientist who work for big pharma are evil people.
Its almost as if companies are made up of more than one individual
its cause the expected cost of the crab was gonna go over 100k a gallon. America is already fked, we had to get most of it over seas, and they ran out. They are not ethical, they just had no choice.

All because one guy with enough power realized his hobby was being impacted negatively. Imagine if we could make people feel the same way for suffering humans across the globe.

I remember hearing of a tiny frog discovered in Australia, I think it was Australia, I thought it was cool that they were able to have a quiet life for so long cause immediately afterwards they became an endangered species.
I wonder what changed 🤔
People on YT found out about them
Crab: survives millions of years
Human: hold my beer
billy osullivan Bitch he doesn’t need to kill himself just for being unoriginal
*and its that crabs blood that will make them go extinct.*
I live 10 minutes from the Delaware bay. I see these crabs all the time
Looks familiar...
Oh yeh kabuto
It's already 500 million years. Why don't it evolve to kabutops
Horseshoe crabs: survive
Methuselah: I haven't seen you in centuries my friend
😂😂😂😂
bless these scientists who are working hard for the better of earth, and everything on it
People kill them because they think that there tails sting you and poke you but they dont
Please preserve them.
"theyve been around for millions of years but we're sure they only ever started declining after human activity increased"
People reluctant to change over to the synthetic solution should ask themselves what will happen once the horseshoe crab species goes extinct as a result of harvesting the blood. First the drug will become very expensive and scarce then it won't be available at all and in the end no alternative has been thought off to replace the blood harvesting for the cure. We are lucky to have bright minds and scientists that have thought of finding a solution for this.
Kudos to professor Ding Jeak Ling!!!!
I live by the Chesapeake Bay and it's so sad how many fewer horseshoe crabs you see nowadays
These horseshoe crab be like: "Ohhh Crab...."
I picked one of these upside down one time in the ocean
Haven’t touched the water since
I thought they were ugly when I was a kid but now I feel like they are super cute!
Singapore, contributing to the world in small ways.
squiggy18 eating all the jelly fish, horseshoe crabs and sharks yeah great contribution
KUTTHROAT What I believe thats China, not Singapore
crab: i fear no creature
*human*
crab: but that THING *it scares me*
Thank you horseshoe crab for helping hoomans... Your sacrifice would not be in vain...
1:53 Copper-based blood. That's the same blood type of the Vulcans in the fictional _Star Trek_ television series.
But IS IT REALLY FICTIONAL
Rip Mr Crabs
Wrong crabs dude
Actually we humans beings are the next fossilized things anyway. The other living things, we don't extinct, will take a big breath and carry on.
Play Dog It’s very hard to imagine other organisms outliving humans. Perhaps a mass extinction caused by [Insert disaster] could wipe most multicellular organisms off the planet and then life would “restart” once again on Earth.
@@shadowjuan2 if then, live will still discover our fossilize remains, whether bacteria or any living thing during our time period, including of course a couple of 'human' skeletons.
Imagine you're home, just chilling, when someone kidnaps you and takes you to an unfamiliar location; you can't move, they're drawing your blood, and then you're dumped back home.. I really hope they find a different way
Now that I know those two buttons on top of the shell are eyes, they look very cute!
They are just very chill
Thank you Mr Krabs!
75 k crabs may die.
Chickens: Hold my legs.
According to estimates 137 million chickens are eaten or killed every day.....yeah, every day. No, I'm not a vegan and I love to eat chickens.
Why are you not a vegan if you know some of the terrible effects?
@@imgayasheck595 found the vegan!
@@imgayasheck595 What terrible effects?? Chickens are breed to be eaten.
Arian Orange i agree ,the problem is, this crabs arent
Imgay Asheck and this is why vegans are hated. People like you saying vegan is the only way, hello you can grow your own animals and kill them humanely
The underlying cause of any research is the money that the founders are aiming to double, triple or quadruple from the measly amount they may have spent on a research.
one of many examples- dr. rickets in colorado wanted to prove that it was the tick that carried rocky mountain spotted fever- he let a tick feed on him and he died... of rmsf... not really to greedy was he...just a dedicated man of science.
Don't some us always wonder what happened if humans didn't exist. Only me?

Lives are never saved, only extended.
Well if someone pushes you away from an incoming truck, they saved your life.
You could say it is extended
You could say semantically it's both.
2:32 damn they got them French rabbits
Human beings often only evolve their sciences or modern medicine out of necessity. This animal was going extinct is one such example
One time when i was at sandy hook for a field trip, i saw a dead horseshoe crab
Time for a fricking crusade
We need to genetically engineer the horseshoe crab into Half Life Head crabs.
Horseshoe crab: I can survive 1000+years
Humans: I’m gonna end this mans career
You know somethings horribly wrong when a crab that was able to survive billions of years starts to decline *_Now_*
As a kid I saw only a few of these on N.Y.- Bronx beaches in the mid 1960's. They freaked me out. I was always afraid of one of those tail-spikes stabbing into my feet. Ahhh.
Name of this video brings so much anxity i thought i was alive
Says volumes about humanity when horse shoe crabs won’t even survive us.
There's always going to be Equivalent Exchange in life
Imagine having another animal's name in your's.
Horseshoe?
They are not horses, nor shoes, nor crabs. Great.

Harvesting blue crab blood for decontaminating medical supplies. I didn't even know this existed. How primitive.
I have a shell from one of these crabs that I found on the beach. Very cool creature be a shame if they go extinct.
11:35 got get up early
Brain:ahh crab blood saved your life
The simplest solution.
Take the gene responsable for making blood
Put in an animal how is bigger and therefore make more blood like the elephant or whale
There you have a big resorce
2nd solution
Put this gene in the gene of ciws and goats responsable for making milk
You got your own blood every morning
Nb: the second solution was used to make the silk that turantula do
Edit: Thanks a lot for all these likes thank you
Thank you. Godbless
Horseshoe crabs are all over the beach where I'm at.
All im gonna say is that this isnt the only place that is like this
Something tells me she doesn't work with horse shoe crabs often or at least doesn't go out to get it, as seen on video
I had a couple of them at a kaiten sushi place in Tokyo last year... swear I didn’t know they were going extinct
Crab shoe:surviveds a million
My mind: I want to become one
Can't really blame rising sea levels considering how sea levels have changed over the past 500 million years.
The question is, where can i buy that horseshoe crab leathery plush thing?
If they walk on land and swim on water, they're not Horsecrabs
They're Land Manta Rays!
Evrybody gangsta until these kabuto evolve to kabutops

No remark about cost? If the pharmaceutical industry truly wanted to save the horseshoe crab they would sell it at a fair price that promotes rapid transition.
What types of disease can be treated with this horseshoe blood.
