There is a mile of difference between unethical and harmful, especially when in normal use the item isn't harmful at all, it's only harmful if it's abused. Ivory hunting is harmful to elephants. I was referring to the mercury instrument (I thought that was bleeding obvious) The problem with mercury is that even if not "abused" (whatever that means) it has a tendency to get split, and when it does the tiny droplets run everywhere and are very difficult to clean up. I can remember playing with blobs of mercury when I was a kid, great fun chasing them round the table.... Colin |
