Means
Do the ends justify the means? Should we experiment on animals to test product safety? Should we experiment on humans to advance science, like the ‘twins study’ in the documentary ‘Three Identical Strangers’? Should we destroy nature or abuse animals to feed a growing population and our insatiable appetite for more stuff? Some are false trade-offs. We can test products without animal cruelty and advance science without human guinea-pigs. We can feed people and make products without degrading nature or torturing animals. Yet governments, companies, scientists and consumers regularly use convenient ends to justify unacceptable means.
