Disembodied pig brains could be the next great revolution in neuroscience. Find out how scientists kept a pig's brain alive while separated from its body.
Sometimes I kind of wish a superior alien race would come down and do exactly the same shit to us as we do to cattle, pigs, chickens, lab rats & mice, etc.
We did it to ourselves during WW2. It’s not a good look no matter who the victims are or who does it.
In any case, animal testing is sometimes a necessary evil (not you, cosmetic industry). It was also asleep during the whole thing which makes it a bit better.
I feel there’s a bit of dissonance between these two points.
Yeah, completely agree it’s not right no matter who does it. From Japan to Germany, to the US forgiving such actions to garner the knowledge gained from these inhumane studies.
My alien quip was merely to invoke some sense of perspective and empathy by seeing how absurd and how quickly people would turn around and go, “This is so cruel!” after they become the victims.
And somehow I doubt people would be assuaged by, “well at least you look like your detached brain is sleeping” or, “Don’t worry; it’s a necessary evil for the greater good of our species.”
