Subject: RE: Nibbs XXVIIesc - 2008-11-11 6:33 PM Artemis - 2008-11-11 9:28 PM It's always really tricky. With animals, you have to balance suffering with the benefit for the research. At least for the human aspect of my project, it's pretty easy. I get volunteers to agree to give blood samples and fill out a patient questionnaire. No names, just id numbers. I really hate the animal research part. I have made it a point to avoid the toxicology side of research. I would be that girl that let all the animals go in the middle of the night. Whoops. That's exactly what I worked in. I heart animals. I guess I viewed it as part of my job (not to mention a requirement) to treat the bunnies as humanely as possible. I like what I do now much better TEACH AND PLAY WITH DOGGIES!!!!! |
