Who has seen this monkey that has been impanted with a micro chip in his brain?

Question

Am I the only person who is disgusted byt this?

Answer 1

I have not seen it and I am not disgusted.

Answer 2

I'm not sure if I've seen that particular one but there are many others I have seen.  It enrages me and also frustrates me because I am not sure how to solve the problems of animal testing myself.  

Poor souls:

Answer 3

I have seen the photo of the monkey and I think it's horrible.  It really makes me want to do the same to whoever did that to the monkey.  I hope animals will oneday seek revenge on all those who have tested on them.

Answer 4

For the handicapped person that is paralyzed from the neck down - it is ground breaking and life changing research.  

Can you imagine the difference it would make to a person that hasn't been able to even feed themselves for years because of an injury?  

Something so simple as to brush their own hair, wipe their own nose, scratch an itch, even eat on their own - they couldn't do - but now will have that option.

Sorry - but if I was that person confined to a wheelchair - I would be doing mental cartwheels at the thought of being able to do the things that so many take for granted.  

But then maybe I look at it differently since I have family that are confined to wheelchairs and this sort of life changing research will mean a total 100% change in their life for the better.

Answer 5

I have seen more than enough.  It makes me feel sick to my stomach, seeing their eyes, you can tell that they are suffering.  I understand that animal testing can help humans, but there are other ways of doing it and the testing is causing immense suffering to animals who feel pain, I will never understand how anyone can think that is ok.  I just don't see humans as being more important than animals, causing animals such pain for us is wrong and selfish.  One day hopefully it will all end for them.

Answer 6

no i never saw it ... was the chip one of the low in saturated fats varieties. If so I think it was disgusting too.

Answer 7

I haven't seen that, but animal testing does disgust me. There are a variety of methods for performing medical research without testing on animals. Options include epidemiological studies, human genetic research, clinical research, in-vitro studies, autopsies, mathematical modeling, and computer stimulations.

Even if we had no alternative to using animals, animal testing would still be ethically unacceptable. As George Bernard Shaw said: “You do not settle whether an experiment is justified or not by merely showing that it is of some use. The distinction is not between useful and useless experiments, but between barbarous and civilized behaviour.”
