If you read the article, the controversy is because other scientists are arguing there is nothing learned here that is applicable elsewhere. In essence, it’s torture without any purpose or benefit to society.
Cruelty in animal farming is bad, but it does serve to feed human populations.
- hombre_fatal 5y agoWell, bullshit aside, how many of us reading this just eat meat because it makes our taste buds feel good? 100% or 99%? That seems even worse than torture for the pursuit of knowledge.

But sometimes there is a line to be drawn, this "experiment" does a huge disservice to all legitimate research that need support from the public. Even an undergraduate could see that it wouldn't provide anything we didn't already know, it's an engineering showmanship, you don't have to be a professor in reproductive physiology to see that.
