- pas 5y agoIf I understand correctly the problem is that if you go to one of their labs they'll cook you a batch in no time (we know the genes, you can order a plasmid that has all the bells and whistles needed to get it made in yeast), but it'd be illegal for many reasons. (They can't sell it without FDA approval for one, they'd need an approved factory for that, and they are infringing on patents.) They obviously can't advertise this, but in videos they almost literally spell this out. So they do this strange outreach instead, with no clear steps in sight. Plus as others mentioned it's easy to buy insulin. ($25 at Walmart.) About how easy it is to make recombinant insulin I recommend this channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3FcbFqSoQY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3FcbFqSoQY
