How dare anyone fund research that won't solve all the world's

I am more astonished that there was no outcry that the labs have been
breeding blind chickens for long enough and in enough numbers to give teh
strain a name [not just a number which you would expect in a small
controlled group]
Its interesting what gets picked up on in response to items like this.
Illuminating on the diversity of the population.
For me - I agree with ALP much of the way - all research is part of
advancing our knowledge and the solutions to our problems are frequnetly
found in the most unlikely research.

And no research is going to solve the political problems of human beings
and their inhumanity to each other...

Truer words were never spoken, since by its very nature this type of
research requires a certain amount of inhumanity in the researchers. As
long as we find it acceptable to be cruel to those who cannot protect
themselves, we will always have issues with people being inhumane.
