Talk:Animal testing on invertebrates

November 2008
The article as it stands assumes the abuse of small creatures for the advancement of human careers and profit is a good thing, and fails to take account of any ethical objections.Andycjp (talk) 11:59, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I think it is ethical to use flies and worms for testing, because they feel no pain. I reject only the cruel testing on vertebrates (and advanced invertebrates like e.g. some species of squid), because these have an advanced nervous system and can actually feel something. Btw, what do you think of abortion? There are some similarities between these two issues: Human fetuses are also small creatures who can feel something if they are advanced enough (IIRC after the 3rd month). I think with today's technology it is possible to remove a fetus without killing it, hence allowing the transfer to another person or to a neonatal intensive care unit.

 * Until anyone notes any potential ethical objections, I'm removing the POV tag. If no significant objections exist, there is no point in noting any in the article.Dreid1987 (talk) 22:48, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


 * If there is any established literature on the ethical issues regarding testing on invertebrates, I'd love to see some citations, as that certainly belongs in the article. This is one of the reasons I had a look at this article. However, based upon my searching around Google, however, there isn't a whole lot of literature of this kind out there, and we cannot "balance" an article based merely on the personal perspectives of Wikipedia editors.
