Monkey Drug Trials
This experiment was done to test the effects addiction and drug use. Monkeys
and rats were trained to give themselves injections of a drug: morphine, alcohol, codeine,
cocaine, and amphetamines. The monkey and rats were given a large amount of the
drug, and left to use it as they pleased. The animals became so disturbed that
they literally tore themselves apart. While a human drug trail like this would
be just as unethical, there was no need to put animals through such a
horrendous experiment, with an outcome which was expected. Not only was this
experiment unethical in it’s treatment of animals, it was also practically unnecessary
to do in the first place. Given that the drug even had the same effect on the
animals as they do humans, the end results showed nothing other than the obvious.
What do you expect to happen when something over doses.
