National Geographic - The War On Science

One section at a time. In the biomedical section I agree with the scientists on every issue. The one I have a problem with is research on animals. If it's necessary, I mean really necessary, I'm okay with it though I don't particularly love it. If it's not truly necessary and starts to overlap with animal cruelty which I believe it can then... The rest fine with me.

Section number 2 I mostly agree with the scientists though I'm not sure what the ratio is of mankind and global warming. I do think mankind has an effect. I also think that the population could presented a serious problem. Fracking offshore drilling are both fine withe fossil fuels until the next shit is Might as well use the fossil fuels until the next shit is ready to go. I really don't think cutting into the food supply for the inefficient fuel it produces is a good idea. Screw biofuel. Energy will be cheaper and more efficient especially if people quit being pussies about nuclear energy. Space stations? Too soon to tell if they're worth the investment, not so far. Astronauts? I would think not for a long time will they be necessary. As long as it takes a lifetime to get anywhere else with wife unmanned probes are all we have.
did I miss anything?

Animal testing is probably miserable for every animal involved, but IUCACs are in place at every US research facility to make sure the animals are treated as humanely as possible while still meeting the needs of the research project. Animal research cannot be conducted without IUCAC approval. Nearly every Nobel prize for Physiology and Medicine has been awarded to research that utilized an animal model. Without animal research, medicine wouldn't even be a shadow of what it is today.
Here's a list of those Nobel prizes and the animals they used: http://www.animalresearch.info/en/medical-advances/nobel-prizes/

Fuck Nobel prizes. Obama won the Nobel Peace prize before he even held office for a few months. LMFAO!

Their peace prize is a joke, but their science prizes are the real deal.

Oh I'm not disputing the benefits. I just don't like it and what to make sure there's absolutely no unnecessary cruelty allowed.

bio med sciences aside-
the chart above isnt only skewed towards the left, its an obama led paradigm shift!
I mean every red blooded tea party libertarian republican WANTS fracking
the wimpy fracking total above smacks of liberal mass transit types!
also - no self respecting republican will agree with such high total favoritism with bio fuels!
it costs more $$ to develop than to offset benefit!
our motto on spending money for failed endeavors are an anathema

I'd rather test in humanely on convicted murderers. No shortage of them and fuck em.
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -

Like Unit 731? No thanks.

Let them give something back to society.I'd rather test in humanely on convicted murderers. No shortage of them and fuck em.
Tell me the results wouldn't have a great deal of benefit, Vapor.
Needs of the one versus needs of the many?

Are you talking about the Japanese? I doubt many scientists would perform thr kind of things they were doing and it was disgusting but they weren't testing on the dregs of society but plain old subjugated citizens.Like Unit 731? No thanks.
And Like it or not they made medical advances

You give up your freedom when you're a convicted murderer. That's the whole point of prison.

I would think maybe asking death row inmates if they wanted to volunteer for experimental treatments and other such things would be ethically fine. But forcing prisoners to submit to medical tests and procedures would make us another Nazi Germany.

Well just to be the devil's advocate we do require them to submit to the gas chamber or whatever form of execution the state uses...
