kiaaWhat living things do you feel comfortable about sacrificing for the sake of science?
Clearly hardly anyone has a problem with bacteria. But what about insects? Above this is where I draw the line because above that there is a level of sentience that makes me uneasy.
What about rats? Larger mammals that are closer to us? Things could get tricky here. For instance, if I would have troubles sacrificing monkeys for testing new shampoos or hair conditioner, I would have less for testing for instance potential treatment for Alzheimer.
How about you?
