MODERATORS
I wonder what you guys thought animal testing is about, if this is somehow surprising to you. This is just another day at the office for the people running these experiments. The issue is not "Elon doing animal testing" but animal testing in itself.
However - if you think we shouldn't do it then you should also be aware of the tradeoffs. Without this cruelty there's no modern medicine either. Also, if you complain about this but eat meat then you're a hypocrite.
I don't think the sentiment of this discussion is concern that this type of test happens. I think the concern is that the outcome of these tests has been misreported prior to beginning human trials.
Read the article before commenting dude.
What in my message indicates to you that I didn't read it?
You forgot to mindlessly bash Elon
Well they didn't handle the monkeys up to the standard they where supposed to. That is an issue. Also saying not one monkey died due to the implant is also false.
