I'm not sure I can agree with the article's claim that these experiments were necessary: "Without that terrifying two-headed dog, in other words, we’d all go down with our failing kidneys." Eventually we would have found other ways to collect the data needed for safe organ transplants than using live mammals. It probably would have delayed the introduction of transplant procedures on humans, so in that sense there wo…
This is sick. The idea of two headed dog is not as sick in itself as is the clear misery these animals are experiencing.

Would you empathize with a computer program simulating pain model, when pain level is increased, or when computer is powered off? Animal is a mechanism.
Canidae in nature have no problem with killing or inflicting suffering btw.
The conslusion of the article pictures the whole misery of false thinking. Two headed dog was not the reason for successful kidney transplant. Kidney transplant would be fine(r). Justifing this kind of lunacy is just lame. Humans want it all and want it now no matter the cost. Why do we have failing kidneys? I will not go into that direction, but just saying. Live healthy and you will not need the two headed dog to s…

Come on people. What about thousands and thousands of disease model lab rats, genetically engineered to suffer cancer and other horrible illnesses? Should we stop biological and drug research? Misery is electrons flying in the brain. Would you empathize with a computer program simulating pain model, when pain level is increased, or when computer is powered off? Animal is a mechanism.

We currently believe that it's worth sacrificing mice to make people's lives better, but we would do that, we're people. Hopefully, in the future, no living being will have to suffer for any reason.

If you want to be held to the standards of dogs, nobody will stop you. I'd like to think I know better.

Animals can neither be compensated nor communicate their preferences for such decisions.
