Edit: Surprised at all the vegans in this thread. I didn't think there were so many of you. I'm glad you care so much about animal rights, that you're willing to forego eating them and using products made from them. If you're not vegan and have moral objections for this, maybe you should look at yourself first and all the animal abuse you sanction by eating animals and using animal products. Did you know dairy cows have to be pregnant to produce milk? They're artificially inseminated throughout most of their lives. I hope everyone complaining about this also complains about ice cream and cheese. Or else they would be hypocrites who just want to blame others but never look at themselves.

    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.

    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.

    How 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.
