I'm sorry, but if people that are anti-animal testing are also against this, then they really should think about what they want. Let's face it, drugs need to be tested. If they weren't, instead of 10 lab rats dying, thousands of humans could die, and whilst I will take a neutral stance here (despite my own opinions), 10 rats dying is bette than thousands of humans.
Ok, so let's put animals aside. What else do you test on? Plants? Nope. You're left with humans. Oh, what do you know, what are they testing on? Humans! There you go.
If anyone dares suggest that it's not right because they're Indian and poor, I think I will personally have to traceroute you and kill your extended family. Just because they live in a LEDC (Less Economically Developed Country) doesn't mean that they are being exploited.
It's like children working in China in factories under "Slave Conditions". Well, if they weren't working at all, they wouldn't be getting any money, and their family would kick them out, so surely it's better that they're paid the minimal amounts they are and can have a job?
End of the story is, he'll be a social reject all his life. I have a friend not too dissimilar. He's not that amazing, but pretty damn good at maths. At 15 he came 2nd in the British National Maths Challenge, and at 16, he came first. He's currently on a 150% scholarship at Harvard. Only thing is, he's a complete social outcast. No friends, no social life, no real reason to exist. All he does is Maths. The extremely intelligent are often social outcasts, it's just the way it is.
