• Question: Have you looked into Wallaby's milk? Has there been any attempt into artificially producing it? Are any ethical issues raised?

      Wow, you are up to date on your science knowledge!! Well done you!

      No, we haven’t looked at that and it’s not really what the company would do but it certainly looks very interesting!There is so much out there that we haven’t discovered yet! Who knows where the next cure will come from!?

      To be fair, I’m quite glad… I wouldn’t want to milk a wallaby!!

      I think the ethical issues would be just that though, keeping wallabies captive for their milk. Once they can artificially produce the compound, then they won’t need to anymore.
