Animals have Rights Ruling out Their Use in Research?
To paraphrase 18th - century statesman Edmund Burke, "all that is needed for the triumph of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing." One such cause now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animals have rights ruling out their use in research. Scientists need to respond forcefully to animal rights advocates, whose arguments are confusing the public and thereby threatening advances in health knowledge and care. Leaders of the animal rights movement target biomedical research because it depends on public funding, and few people understand the process of health care research. Hearing allegations of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are perplexed that anyone would deliberately harm an animal.
For example, a grandmotherly woman staffing an animal rights booth at a recent street fair was distributing a brochure that encouraged readers not to use anything that comes from or is tested in animals—no meat, no fur, no medicines. Asked if she opposed immunizations, she wanted to know if vaccines come from animal research. When assured that they do, she replied, "Then I would have to say yes." Asked what will happen when epidemics return, she said, "Don’t worry, scientists will find some way of using computers." Such well -meaning people just don’t understand.
Scientists must communicate their message to the public in a compassionate, understandable way—in human terms, not in the language of molecular biology. We need to make clear the connection between animal research and a grandmother’s hip replacement, a father’s bypass operation, a baby’s vaccinations, and even a pet’s shots. To those who are unaware that animal research was needed to produce these treatments, as well as new treatments and vaccines, animal research seems wasteful at best and cruel at worst. Much can be done. Scientists could "adopt" middle school classes and present their own research. They should be quick to respond to letters to the editor, lest animal rights misinformation go unchallenged and acquire a deceptive appearance of truth. Research institutions could be opened to tours, to show that laboratory animals receive humane care. Finally, because the ultimate stakeholders are patients, the health research community should actively recruit to its cause not only well - known personalities such as Stephen Cooper, who has made courageous statements about the value of animal research, but all who receive medical treatment. If good people do nothing, there is a real possibility that an uninformed citizenry will extinguish the precious embers of medical progress.
Misled people tend to think that using an animal in research is______.
选项
A、cruel but natural
B、inhuman and unacceptable
C、inevitable but vicious
D、pointless and wasteful
答案
B
解析
本题有一定难度, 文章第一段最后一句谈到, 当人们听到医学实验虐待动物的指控时, 许多人都不明白为什么有人会故意伤害动物;第二段举例说明人们毫无理由地反对动物实验;第三段结尾又说, 对于不明真相的人们来说, 动物实验说得好是浪费, 说得不好是残忍。因此文章多次暗示。被误导的人们对动物实验的看法是B选项“不人道, 不可接受”, 其他A选项“残酷, 但是自然”、C项“不可避免, 但是邪恶”和D选项“无意义, 浪费”都只是部分地体现了这些人的观点, 而“自然”、“不可避免”和“无意义”都不是他们的观点, 因此都不是答案。
