Readings for BioArt Class Leiden

Posted: June 3rd, 2010 | Author: | Filed under: Animals, BioArt, Biomedicine | No Comments »

For the BioArt Class in Leiden, the Netherlands which I will join tomorrow we had to read through the following links and websites:

www.understandinganimalresearch.org.uk

www.peta.org

I think I am against animal research and I don´t think that healing human deseases justifies the “use” of animals; on the other hand I realize that this is silly because I am not a vegetarian neither which shows that I don´t seem to have much respect of animals, too.

We will discuss this questions tomorrow, I think it will be interesting.
