Sorry, are you having difficulty with the concept that human prisoners should have more rights than mice? | ||||||||

Purdue Pharma, fentanyl and doctors abrogating responsibility for patient safety is an example of 'go wild'. On your second point - I'd agree that a lot of animal experiments are not that informative - but lets be clear 'clinical trials' are simply experiments on people. I'm not sure I'd want to give Musk, Zuckerberg or Bezos free reign to experiment on desperate people in the medical space. Depends on whether you treat people as just grist to your money making mill - or perhaps you think the ends justify the means? | ||||||||

the minds and qualia of incarcerated human beings and of rodents are very unequal in import and value. what’s more, establishing legal precedent that incarcerated human beings may be freely experimented on is a recipe for ethical catastrophe. |
