you have really strong points. its really cool. but i dont really agree with your opinion. your points seem too extreme to me... you're looking at this issue at a biased aspect. first of all, if we cant experiment on humans, why should we regard it as a natural thing to experiement on animals, who also have a life just like us? just because they cant speak? well speaking doesnt mean everything; there are many other ways to express FEELINGS. let me use pong's short example: if you kick a dog, it would probably bite you as a reaction to pain, showing that it has feelings. secondly, how can you be sure that the experiments would definitely benefit humans and animals? what about the animals that get ill or die due to failure of the experiments? experiments cant be always successful. well then think of you being a rat used in an experiment to prove the effect of a new medicine. would you like to sacrifice yourself to bring benefits to others of your species? you said that people are selfish and self-centered, so you wouldnt want to sacrifice yourself, would you? you wouldnt be able to plead or beg when you are one of the animals used in the experiment. Also, i want to know the specific percentage or number of animals that die from pollution. (continued) Do you find this valuable?
