Is science a cult?
There is no question that Nazi doctors used human beings as guinea pigs for their experiments during the Holocaust. But the question has arisen, should information from these experiments be used as foundations for modern research?
Freezing / Hypothermia Genetics Infectious Diseases Interrogation and Torture Killing / Genocide High Altitude Pharmacological Sterilization Surgery Traumatic InjuriesFacts about Animal TestingThere are live animal experiments authorized and around the world, animals are now used as objects of experiments, to test a variety of products. The product range is as diverse as skin creams and shampoos to cancer prevention drugs and vaccines.
In certain countries, the law specifies that a new drug should essentially be tested on at least two different species of live mammal, one of which must be a large non-rodent!
Even though the Animals Act specifies that there should be no animal experiments conducted if there is a realistic alternative and yet, almost every medication in the market has been tested on animals. Animals have been used in the development of anesthetics to prevent human suffering during surgery!
Understanding the extent of damageIt is very important to be sensitive to the treatment meted out to these lower species. In fact, it is our power of discrimination and reasoning and sensitivity that actually makes us superior. It is disgusting to note that less than 2% of all human illnesses are on record in the animal kingdom, and yet we use them to find cures to self inflicted illnesses that have been invited upon us with unhealthy and re-structured living and eating habits.
Research reveals that only 5 to 25% of the animal tests and human results are agreeable! Most of the drugs passed by animal tests are now discarded as useless to humans – then why test in the first place?
The effects of animal testing on animals
The conditions under which the animals are subjected to human experimentation have caused tumors in rodents, while the animal test results were declared to be of little relevance for humans! The only explanation being offered for this declaration is the fact that there are anatomical and physiological differences between animals and humans. It is important to note that although animals are almost always used in cancer research, they never get the human form of cancer which affects membranes like the lungs. Almost 9% of the anaesthetized animals in the laboratory die!
How Long Have We Got?
Luckily for us, strange matter can only be created in high-energy particle collisions, and nothing like that ever happens here, right? Oh, wait.
Meet the Large Hadron Collider. Again.

That's right, our friends at the LHC project expect a lot of weird things to pop up when they start smashing atoms together, and strange matter is one such possibility. That's why scientists have written papers with boring titles such as Will Relativistic Heavy-ion Colliders Destroy Our Planet?, the rebuttals to which were basically, "Let's turn them on and find out!"
No it didnt kill us.....but hey they were willing to put our lives on the line to find out weren't they? Put your faith in Christianity...or in Science...which cult do you prefer?
