They only used the notwithstanding clause to harm trans kids in Saskatchewan…

Unfortunately there is a legal requirement from a lot of countries that any new vaccine released for human use there must be trialed on non-human primates prior to human clinical trials, and that is what many of these monkeys are being used for. The best way to reduce or eliminate the use of primates in biomedical research is to pressure government health agencies to drop this requirement (and other testing requirements involving NHPs).

There are a few very active Facebook groups for freshwater fish/aquarium info and trades in my city where a lot of that goes on, and people go in together on larger direct fish orders. But not sure how that would work in a city as large as NYC.

Yes, if there is no need to collect tissues or anything

Are we sure he’s not just gaming the stock market at the behest of the other rich parasites around him?

Yes the point of the community (as it was on Reddit) was to concentrate it all in one place so it wasn’t leaking everywhere, but that was before he was POTUS I guess

How, when you have no energy and time?

But how do we know humans are acting on an actual selfless decision and not instinctual behaviour? There is some evidence that, in some situations at least, our body/instinct can act first and we just end up rationalizing that we wanted to perform those actions to ourselves, as we are performing them. But that’s a bit of a thought experiment, the truth is, it’s very hard to know. And we can show empathy in very abstracted situations as well, where instinct is probably less of a factor.

Rats, not mice, the former being quite a bit smarter :) But is there any reason to assume our human empathy comes from a different base urge than theirs? If so, why can’t both situations share the term empathy?
