“How do they find out with the experiments?''...one way they can find out a whole lot is to make an animal ill and then try different ways to make it better until they find one that works.''But isn't that unkind to the animal?''Well, I suppose it is...but I mean, there isn't a dad anywhere who would hesitate, is there, if he knew it was going to make [his child] better?

“In the history of the world the prize has not gone to those species which specialized in methods of violence, or even in defensive armor. In fact, nature began with producing animals encased in hard shells for defense against the ill of life.

“Man is an Animal, formidable both from his Passions and his Reason; his Passions often urging him to great Evils, and his Reason furnishing Means to achieve them.

The aptest Method for attaining this End, hath been always judged a proper Education.” MenMeanEndsReasonOrderPassionCoursesEvilReligiousJusticeAnimalEducationVirtueWiseAchieveFashionDutyModelsAimMethodInstitutionsTrainIllAll TimeEndeavorJudgedFormidableAmenable Author:George Berkeley
