I'm listening and learning.

Humanitarianism is doubtlessly the most noble goal next to the advocacy of spiritual freedom, but we have been duly warned against hijacking this thread for further discussion along that other-nature.

Thus, one would show nothing but the greatest disregard for the distinct value of humanity if he were to denigrate the efforts of research aimed at relieving human suffering.

However, pushing for the acceptance of tests of dubious, or at least, unproven value (and may I again mention costs) has to it the ring of ka-ching rather than concern.

Some would think that true humanitarianism is founded in the research lab that has a view on the good of the people, rather than pocketbooks.

Here I will concede.

Thank you for entertaining my lugubrious dissension.
