Basically NASA is conducting experiments with squirrel monkeys to see if humans can withstand the levels and types of radiation they would experience on a journey to Mars. What do you guys think about this? I normally don't have problems with cosmetics animal testing, but irradiating monkeys hits a little close to home.

It is a worthy sacrifice.We eat many kinds of animals and that is deemed socially appropriate but when animals are experimented on in order to improve scientific understanding then a controversy begins. This sociological controversy confuses me. The animals who may or may not dies for the advancement of scientific understanding are more productive to society than those who die for food.

I don't object to the nuking of monkeys, but how will an 15 inch hairy monkey show squat about people's reactions? We are much bigger and less hairy.

I'd rather have monkeys radiated than have technology using radiation not tested properly.

Plus luminescent green monkeys would be very cool looking.

Better a monkey than a human being.

I don't agree with hurting another living creature, even for our own educational gain. However, I have less of a problem with this than I would with testing medicines on animals. Radiation poisoning is something almost all living creatures can be subjected to with similar results. Obviously this experiment will not only severely harm the subjects but will more than likely kill them as well, which I don't advocate at all. Radiation levels can be tested from afar; we know how much it takes to kill a human being. I don't find this experiment all that necessary.

Would you rather our astronauts die from cancer after their return from Mars?
They have to test this on something similar to a human.

So they're just now doing radiation testing? Thy shouldn't have to since they landed on the moon.

....Oh, wait. That never happened.
