    Yes, rat experimentation is the cornerstone of modern medicone, but that doesn’t make it any less fucked up.

    Something can be equally good for people yet completely inhumane. It doesn’t cancel each other out.

    Do I think we should stop experimenting on rats? Absolutely not. But we can try to at least improve the general well-being of these rats and stop deliberately torture them. Peopes have done sleep deprivation experiments where a rat is forced to stay awake or fall in the water and start to drown.
