So in the past 2 plus weeks, I've been at the lab practicing my organ bath technique (which is something so boring you wouldn't want to read about it here) on rabbit arteries
I btw, am going to use human arteries in my project instead, which are leftovers from cardiac bypass surgeries
Nyhoos, using rabbit arteries obviously involves extracting them from rabbits, which obviously need to be killed
Many a friend has branded me inhuman
"How can you kill them?! they're so cuteeee!"
I then reply that it's for the betterment of mankind. I mean billions of chickens are killed each day and no one complains (other than anti-KFC PETA members and some vegetarians)
"But it's diferrent!"
Or is it?
I mean I do pity the rabbits. They were bred for the sole purpose of dying in the hands of science.
But then again, so were the chickens headed for the markets.
So beneath our humane exteriors, our jackets of morality,
Are we actually self-centered beings
Governed by the law of the jungle, survival of the fittest (or smartest in this context)
