Comment Comment by newsbinator After all this time, I still have no idea how I feel about tortuous animal testing for medical breakthroughs.It's a trolley problem with an unknown number of people on Track A and an unknown number of animals on Track B.I don't even know how I feel about replacing animals in these experiments with human violent offenders.Can we justify experimenting on a known serial killer if the experiment will save a million children's lives in the next 10 years? I don't know.If an alien species were using us for their medical experiments, under the same circumstances and conditions, then what would I say?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problem parent newsbinator 5 years ago
