I think that treating anything that can feel pain as a 'laboratory test organism' is the sort of thinking that leads to gross human rights abuses and de-humanization in general. There's not a huge gap between ignoring the screams of small animals/primates and ignoring the screams of another human.
I'm by no means totally against animal testing, but I have to disagree strongly with your callous attitude toward the process. Animal testing should be done as humanely as possible.
- theblackbox 17y agoI don't disagree, it was a cold and calculated assessment of ethics, which, to be honest, I don't have a lot of time for in discussion. I find it much better for one to state outright what they abhor or condone and we can frame a discussion about something worthwhile from there. It's not a calous attitude but a sweeping attempt to discuss the finer points rather than the elephant in the room.
