Interviewee: Sydney Brenner. Drinking the glass of milk.

So I grew up a lot of these bacteria, mixed them in the ratios, put them into milk so that the stomach, they would have the best chance of surviving to neutralize the acids in the stomach, and just drank this. Well because I had to test whether it survived in the intestine, and of course this was human experimentation that was on myself. So you did know how to get, you know, permission to do it, so I said I tested it on a higher primate and, which was myself, and it worked, I mean it, the disabled one survived a million times less than the normal one. The ratio was what was measured.
