RE: Scientific Experiments --- Why is "it" used in place of humans?
Part of my final year project as an undergraduate required I worked with rats and quite frankly they are amazing test subjects. I know the obvious reasons why we use them for such experiments, but somehow, I still wonder "Why them?"
The simple fact that they are smaller and larger in numbers when compared to the quite endangered Chimpanzee species
That's my answer!
Yeah, cost effective and the rest. I wouldn't spend money on a full Chimp if I were a scientist. Lol. Just get a dozen of these guys and I'm good to go.
Thanks for reading, buddy.
