a question for our little heads.
why is it okay to do experimentation on animals to further our scientific knowledge, but it is NOT okay to do experimentation on aborted fetuses? i understand the great advancements we have taken due to the sacrifice of lab animals, but were they willing participants? or furthermore, where most of the tests really needed? i understand the code of ethics used by scientists, and i also understand the egos humanity possesses. we cannot hurt ourselves to further knowledge, but we can hurt those of a different species. talk about ethnocentrism. how it is unfit to do experiments on a nonliving being whose potential could possibly cure so many diseases, but it is okay to give a chimp aids just to watch the side effects? give me an answer, because my professor sure as hell couldn't.
