I agree with the "optimistic" point of view with reference to the recent
communications on animal organs, and in most other situations, that the
lesser of two evils is sometimes our only option. May I say that an
animal in a lab (at least in the UK - I only know about animal
legislation over here) is likely to have a more comfortable life than
one kept in many homes, short though that life may be. Of course, it is
never okay to exploit an animal (make your own definition of "exploit"),
but our system is full of tough dilemmas like this.
Lewis.
