Yeah, I canāt see the āethical tradeoffā hereā¦
Itās just āscienceā for the sake of āscienceā, and for grant money, and because they can (and arguably for the sake of cruelty itself), as innumerate other people here have pointed outā¦
Thereās no value in this. And I say this as a literal scientist-in-training, who has had to do live invertebrate experiments beforeā¦
I would refuse to do something like this, though. Or rats. Or fucking tuna, which is more relevant, in my caseā¦
It justā¦ Doesnāt sit well with me, as a āscience personā.
For some of my classmates, though? I could TOTALLY see them participating in a āstudyā like this one, if they could somehow convince themselves it was āworthwhileā or āvalidā. Or even just to get praise heaped on them by ādaddy professorāā¦ š
Even my parents, who are LITERALLY MEDICAL DOCTORS, have no qualms about justifying this, and would happily have participated, if it was āofferedā when they were at med schoolā¦
