Animal testing

      "It was always my ambition to be a research analyst studying amphibian anatomy for the benefit of mankind." Said Dr. Cull to the high school students touring the laboratory. "My ancestors were all scientists and my father taught me that it is simply amazing to appreciate all of the anatomical detail in each creature. There is nothing amorphous about them. I also hope that through my research we can understand the impacts of our society on these creatures so that we can know how to ameliorate environmental problems and amend our wrongs. Frogs, for example, are an indicator of environmental pollution"

      "You are very ambitious, Dr. Cull." A bright, amber-haired girl said. "So you are looking for analogies between animals and humans?"

      "Yes, and there are already ample findings amid the analogues we already have. We know much about how anesthetics work, for example, based on clinical trials with rats."

       "Ooowww. I disagree with using animals for tests!" Another student suddenly said.

       "Some people think that the ethics of using animals for testing are fairly ambiguous. But the amount of knowledge we have amassed about health, vaccines, antibiotics etc. is incredible. Many of your daily amenities are based on results from animal research. There is really nothing amateurish or careless slx)ut animal testing." Replied the Doctor.

       "But I've seen videos of the amateur conditions in different research facilities and things look pretty bad for animals." Interjected yet another high school student.

       "I see we've hit on an interesting topic. Let's step into this conference room and discuss this further."
