| forest-spirit said: I understand why animals are used in medical research as it's in our nature to think of ourselves before others. There is no reason to let the animals suffer more than necessary though. However, modern science is now letting us grow entire body parts and when that technology let's us grow e.nough "human" to test on then using animals is no longer acceptable in my book. Using animals in cosmetic research on the other hand is fully despicable and unacceptable. |
Growing entire body parts is still a work in progress. The best you can grow in full detail are individual organs and tissue samples, there still some complications in recreating entire working systems from stem cells or cloning processes.
However that will lead to a whole new ethical debate and whole new arguments. Would it be ethically and morally right to do tests on cloned bodies or "grown" from stem cells? How can you justify that the "grown" humans don't have the same rights as a normal human has? If they do, then why not just test on regular humans?
That would be the equivalent of an ethical shitstorm.
