people have too much assumptions on what experience is, how that arises in the brain / mind and what those things are to say if these animals are suffering or not. i'd prefer if there was a more clear understanding of consciousness, experience and how that relates to our brains, hearts and other bodily functions before playing with it like this. that being said, like many posted, it's better to govern such experiments properly than to drive them underground as clearly there's many people with different opinions on this and basically before there's a thorough understanding on things it's not possible to say who's right or wrong. i'd just wish people did less work based on assumptions in science and medicine, because that always tends to lead to messy situations. from a personal perspective i think this kind of research is disgusting regarding the lack of information on this topic, but that's my personal opinion and i respect other's for having a different opinion even though that grosses me out. have fun in hell :-) guess we gotta fill that place too :D ( joking! for those atheists jumping on hate train)
