In the name of science

In statistics, there is always the question of what is ethical and what isn't. No matter how hard you try to make an experiment that uses live test subjects as ethical as possible, there will always be the few who go against it, but doing statistical analysis on live subjects is sometimes the only way to get meaningful resulfs. But, I am against experiments on any of the great apes and any other subjectively intelligent creature. A lot of medicine these days are tested on rats and live culture anyway. The real ethics question comes into place when you talk about stem-cell research and what one finds ethical another may not.
