1. a) What is the rationale of founders of (product) Red?

During this time‚ a myriad of new factories and job opportunities‚ in addition to quicker transportation‚ in cities helped instigate a massive movement of the global human population from farms and rural villages to large urban cities such as London‚ England‚ which created an explosive population growth and an enormous overcrowding issue‚ especially in Europe and the United States.

A clear example of this is the Mexican War of Independence. It was much more difficult to prevent deaths from tuberculosis during this war because of lack of knowledge of the disease‚ a vaccine and medication to treat the disease.

The lack of political will‚ and inappropriate implementation of protocols and programs for disease control drive the challenges in controlling both HIV and tuberculosis.

Another downside to mutating is that what if it creates another disease that’s even worse than tuberculosis or any other sickness that affects cows? I’m pretty sure there’d be more cures for tuberculosis than any new disease that comes out of the mutation. And just in case you were asking “but if these are being tested for safety shouldn’t everything be fine?” I would say yes‚ but from what the FDA

Introduction The acid-fast stain was developed in 1882 by Paul Ehrlich. Ehrlich was working with Mycobacterium tuberculosis‚ the bacilli responsible for tuberculosis‚ and found a technique that renders M. tuberculosis distinguishable from nearly all other bacteria. Acid-fast staining is‚ therefore‚ known as a differential stain. Mycobacterium and some Nocardia species are considered acid fast because‚ during the acid-fast procedure‚ they are able to retain the primary dye even when decolorized
