Experiments like these were done even decades back. Every time, there is some temporary indignation/outrage from some limited quarters and then the news dies down while such experiments continue behind closed doors. Only the much derided "animals rights" group keep up sustained focus but they're effectively isolated and ignored. Perhaps society will do well to keep in mind that what we do to animals we will eventually do to each other too, when the circumstances and motives align just right. Such things have happened in the past and will happen again, unless we can find ways and means to elevate our collective ethics, checks and balances as a global species. Yet daily we shrink from confronting the really tough questions.
