    "Would you prefer 27 squirrel monkeys dying in experiments or six dead astronauts in a capsule floating on the Pacific Ocean?"

    Ask the monkeys the same question :D

    The interesting thing is that the astronauts are the ones who volunteered.

    Anyway, I think a better question:

    "Would you prefer 27 monkeys dying in experiments, or 27 monkeys as desert?"

    Ah, dessert! Chilled monkey brains. #radiationtests

    No, better yet, clone a human and expose it to the radiation,

    so later, you will have a whole bunch of laws broken,

    but we will advance twice as fast.

    Seriously, the experiment is waiting to happen, ether now or later. We need to know if space travel and life is possible. #radiationtests

    @STiger: The point is we haven't tried it before, so we don't know what kind of emotion we would have, that's the beauty of it.

    So it would be a double experiment.
    Or, double something #radiationtests

    So you propose sending humans Mars and subjecting them to the equivalent dose of radiation with no testing.

    I'm starting to think Giz IS actually just a million monkeys on a million typewriters.

    If we think it'll be safe for humans to go, then why wouldn't it be safe for the monkeys?

    If it turns out it's not safe, we may all be doomed anyway, relegated to a future predicted by left wing nuts like Al Gore, monkeys and present company included. #radiationtests

    @Navin R Johnson: That doesn't negate the fact that it is a horrific scenario/outcome for what is otherwise an unknowing and unwilling animal participant. I know what animal testing has given to us as a human civilization but that doesn't remove the reasoning that it is an unjust and unfair approach to our own agendas.

    As for name calling (childish), it doesn't stand that a person (Diaz) who is obviously sympathetic towards other living things has a problem. Nor does it seem appropriate that you proceed to lump the remainder of his coworkers into the same insult. That is of course, unless you feel that we are not interlinked within the animal kingdom and instead a product of someones magical hands. But surely that is not the case as it would quite and utterly...well you know.

    The human legacy is built upon the suffering of others including that of the animal kingdom. We have and will do many great things but I fear that number will ever remain behind the darker deeds committed. #radiationtests

    Mmm... as horrifically cruel as this experiment sounds, it is far more humane than many other experiments on animals that happen daily. #radiationtests

    @Hello Mister Walrus: Probably true, and I was going to avoid this mess as it quickly turns from a falling rock to a landslide of moral obligation and pro-life sympathy, but much of the experiments that I've read about (or even participated in, myself) offers medicinal benefits or advancement of physiological understanding. As a general comment, this is about sending some guys and girls to another planet, and has nothing to do with getting rid of the flu that I've had for a month, so, mixed feelings. As I wrote that, I realize that they will obviously analyze the unfortunate furballs for those exact reasons, so perhaps there is some merit in exposing these creatures to radiation in case of future treatment benefits. #radiationtests
