But it usually starts to make more sense when someone in the family or you yourself start suffering from a life-threatening disease.

torture is inevitable. "We can't just close our eyes and pretend we live in a pure world," he says.

"People will say anything under torture,"

torture is inevitable.

it's so obvious to most people that there are benefits from animal experiments, and those who might speak out, that is people who actually do work in animal research, have, quite rightly, been very worried about whether they were putting themselves and their families at risk.

But Stein says despite that, he and others have finally decided they must speak out. He points out that penicillin was first isolated at Oxford, tested on 20 mice in a lab just near his. Vaccines have been developed here too that have saved millions of lives, he says. Oxford scientists are now working on a cure for malaria. All have involved testing on animals.

xford scientists are now working on a cure for malaria. All have involved testing on animals.

In the ultimate hypothetical case, if a terrorist with hard intelligence about an impending large-scale terrorist strike could be broken by torture, shouldn't it be used?

The scientists do all they can for the animals when it comes to actually testing on them. If they think that it will be uncomfortable for the animal they give them painkillers to relieve stress and the pain if pain is even involved. They also will test the product on an alternative before they test they product on an animal.

Among the works of man, which human life is rightly employed in perfecting and beautifying, the first in importance surely is man himself. Supposing it were possible to get houses built, corn grown, battles fought, causes tried, and even churches erected and prayers said, by machinery--by automatons in human form--it would be a considerable loss to exchange for these automatons even the men and women who at present inhabit the more civilized parts of the world, and who assuredly are but starved specimens of what nature can and will produce. Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model, and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces which make it a living thing.

Mill begins by trying to pin down the meaning of justice, by coming up with a list of those things that are commonly classified as just or unjust. First, it is considered unjust to deprive someone of his legal rights. However, this concept has exceptions. For example, a person may have legal rights he should not have--his rights may be the provision of a bad law. While people vary on whether bad laws can be justly disobeyed, all people agree that laws can be unjust. Therefore, law cannot be the ultimate standard of justice. A second form of injustice comes from depriving someone of something he has a moral right to possess. Third, it is considered just that a person receive what he "deserves," and unjust that he obtain something he doesn't deserve; people are thought to deserve good things if they have done right, and evil things if they have done wrong. A fourth form of injustice is to violate an agreement with someone or disappoint expectations that one knowingly nurtured. Fifth, it is considered unjust to show favoritism and preference in inappropriate circumstances. However, it is not generally necessary to be impartial; for example, one doesn't have to be impartial in the selection of friends. The claim is rather that a person should only be influenced by those considerations that should apply in a given circumstance. Finally, the idea of equality is seen by many to be a component of justice; some people may make an exception for the sake of expediency, however.

Animals not only react differently than humans to different drugs, vaccines, and experiments, they also react differently from one another. Ignoring this difference has been and continues to be very costly to human health.

Recent research indicates that over one million women in the United States earn their living by full-time prostitution.

such prohibitions violate one's most basic and inherent rights. Prostitution is the voluntary sale (or rental) of a labor service. Individuals own their own bodies and their own labor services and have the absolute right to decide how those labor services should be used.

«Les prostituées souffrent, certains clients refusent de payer après avoir été satisfaits, ou demandent des rapports sexuels non protégés. Ça peut être vraiment dur, dans la rue», témoigne-t-elle.

L'ancien président botswanais Festus Mogae, qui dirige désormais le Conseil national du sida, estime qu'une légalisation de la prostitution faciliterait la prévention. «Dépénaliser le travail du sexe ne veut pas dire l'encourager, mais cela permettrait de mettre en oeuvre des politiques visant à protéger celles qui ont été forcées à se prostituer», déclare-t-il.
