...When scientists first started making endostatin, it took 200 qt. of mouse urine to obtain less than a millionth of an ounce. Turning the compounds out in people-size doses will require entirely different manufacturing techniques. EntreMed claims it now has a way to make lots of endostatin, using yeast cells as tiny factories; angiostatin is proving a lot tougher to mass-produce...

In Kansas City, people would pay a lot more than 50[cents] to have any of those things removed from whatever they were eating and replaced with Betty Lucas' chicken batter...
