Did they kill those mice just so they could see whether they stopped glowing when they died? :/

- junon 1y agoCould be, yes. Mice have it real bad in labs. Many people have commented over the years about not being able to pursue their careers doing lab work because of all the abuse on mice. One of those uncomfortable realities we live in; the mice have allowed us to make so many discoveries but it's a bit macabre how it all works.

- whimsicalism 1y agohumans kill animals by hundreds of millions every single day, i have trouble understanding the furor caused specifically by lab experiments which are likely significantly more beneficial than the median slaughter

- mrguyorama 1y agoThey are studying the difference between a live thing and a not-alive thing. What thing would you rather they have killed? Or would you rather not study this at all?
