Scientists regenerate neurons that restore walking in mice after paralysis from spinal cord injury::In a new study in mice, a team of researchers from UCLA, the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, and Harvard University have uncovered a crucial component for restoring functional activity after spinal cord injury. The neuroscientists have shown that re-growing specific neurons back to their natural target regions led to recovery, while random regrowth was not effective.
So do they injure the mice intentionally, or do they send them to work with little mouse jobs with poor OSHA regulations and wait for the inevitable?
How many mice were killed before they got one “fixed”? And did they damage their spinal cords in the first place so they could have subjects to work on? Where do you find a supply of mice paralyzed by spinal cord injury to experiment on? Just saying
This is what privilege sounds like.

You’re speaking from a position of privilege when it comes to the animals.

Good point. Fixed it for you.
I genuinely don’t want to be hateful, but how do you expect stuff like this to be tested without hurting “some” animals. I’m not saying I agree with animal testing and if possible I’d rather them test it another way, but I do understand the importance of it. Without this lot’s of medications and treatments wouldn’t exist.
