bobmanThe first human organ created inside an animal opens the door to manufacturing ‘spare parts’ for people
MontaggeWITH NO ETHICAL QUESTION AT ALL
Gotta break a few eggs to make an omelette. Sucks for the animals but if it can advance human medical science and saves millions of lives, I’m fine with it.
Hey, I've heard this one before!
CarbonIceDragonFamiliarity doesn’t make it wrong
Yes, let's repeat the horrors of the past that were used to advance medicine. What a grand idea. The ends justify the means after all.
We’re specifically advocating not experimenting on humans so this doesn’t really fit
such_lettuce7970how is that gross? it’s a reasonable answer.
What’s gross is condemning people to die for the sake of some pigs
Nobody is being condemned to die because some people want ethical treatment of animals.
So called ethical treatment impacts the speed and scope of research that can be done, and in doing so delays or prevents the benefits of conducting that research. That means that people who could be saved by animal tested medicines instead die in the time taken to find an alternative.
If a technology could be used to save people who would have died had the technology not been used, then not using or not developing that technology effectively condemns those people to die.
It’s just another version of the food chain….

deafboyHow does it change anything in regards to ethics? It’s still shoving animal parts inside your body, but instead of using the mouth, we cut a hole in our stomach, and use that.
If it was ethical before, it still is. If it wasn’t ethical before, it still isn’t.
NO STRONG FEELINGS ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.
