808stevan1, Insulin derived from cow and pigs hasn't been used in humans for decades. Today's insulin is made from recombinant human DNA (rDNA) and synthesized in e. coli bacteria, thereby making it basically identical to natural human insulin and withoit the risk of allergies that used to occure with bovine and pork insulin.

the word 'discovered' ruled out surgical mask and parachute. Plus we know penicillin wasn't the answer.

Elfcounsel, exactly. And if it was artificial insuline, he did not discover it, because it did not exist. He could only have invented it.
