User comments
It is not morally acceptable to experiment on animals. Animals are also living things just like humans. We should accord to them the respect and treat them with consideration. If it is morally acceptable to experiment on animals, than what is wrong with experimenting on human beings? Why should animals be experimented on for human purposes? Isn't that just selfish of us as human beings?
animal testing is okay if its for the good! Like finding cures for cancer etc. - User:Stevielliddiatt
Morally unacceptable
It is morally unacceptable to use animals for human purposes if the procedures used cause any harm or stress to the animal in question. Invasive surgery...confinement...unnatural habitat are all unacceptable.
It depends on who you are
I guess it all depends on who you are. If you are a vegetarian, then I must agree with you that it is unacceptable. But if one eats meat, then one should not practice double standards, justifying it with instantaneous death vs prolonged agony. Personally, I believe that humans should be vegetarians, but I just love meat too much. So I can't moralize. — Ekompute 04:48, 15 June 2009 (CDT)
