Ok so again this is a response to the presentations in class. And again there are so many people doing there paper on life boat ethics!! I have to wonder if you all conspired on this (haha). One topic that was recenlty talked about was what is the difference of testing on human bodies as apposed to animals. Why do people get so carried away with how wrong it is to do stuff in the name of science on a dead cadaver and it is perfectly ok to do anything to an animal. One part of me thinks that this has its roots in theology. Some religious beleifs (like christianity) say that we are made in the image of God and that we have souls. Animals, however, were not and some beleive that they dont have souls. So is that what makes it wrong to not experiment on humans but ok to do to animals? I just thought this was an interesting paper and I wish we could have discussed it more.
