the ethical treatment of amimals in scientific research

Hello everyone,

So....I don't have a fixed idea, I think two things:

1/ Animal have rights, there are not our property and should be treaten like we are (with respect). In fact, I think that even though we say that "In this kind of scientific research animals don't suffer", how can we know that?? We have any idea if they suffer or not, we are not in their body. I think too, that we, human, are selfish. Because, when we use animals to save human life, it's really selfish. What about them? Even though if it's to save other animals, it's selfish too. What about the one who want to live?

2/Now, here is the part two! I think, that like most of people I'M SELFISH! And, I know that I've taken at least one time in my life a medecine treatment which have been test on animals. Am I proud of it? NO. Will I do it again? YES. It's the "Law nature": the one who is stronger eat the others...All we have to do now is hoping than someday we will not need them anymore, and they could live in peace...

My research project

Hi, sorry I'm late, sooooooo here is my research project :

"Does hip hop love Obama? : A media analysis"
In 2004, we've seen the engagement of hip hop artist as 50 cent & Puff Daddy into the election with the campaign "vote or die"...But these artist didn't take engagement with democrat or republican. This year, many hip hop artist affirm their engagement for Obama. This analysis will make a comparaison between these two elections, and, show up how does this "Obama + hip hop" has been created.... what are the link?

So that's it. Is it clear??? What do you think about that? Be honest...

Thanks!
