How about the pain of one infant would theoretically save thousands of adult lives, is the pain worth doing?

Our government has been justifying this for many years.

Infants are too young to say whether they would want to participate in experimentations, heck they cant even talk, at least adults can make their own decisions and make something positive out of being apart of an experiment even if it is risky and they suffer for it later it was they're choice, infants are to young to have a choice

No it is not because it is a sin. To save people is one thing, but you can't just use people against their will to save another lives, even babies can't be used against their own will. These experiements should be brought on the experimenter instead of the experiemented.

No, but experiments on people who think it is, is completely justified. There is no justifiablity in harming a defenseless infant. Its just sick.

immediately, I would say no. No human should give their life for experimental reasons. I would consider an experimental treatment to save a child who had no other option to live; It would be very difficult. Evie

i would sacrifice myself to save thousands of adult lives....and if i could go back in time i would sacrifice my own infant self.....a utilitarian would say, 'yes.'
i know this is off subject, but you have a nice coat.

Depends if it could save the babies life.
Like the girl with the parasitic twin, they are/were going to do experimental surgery on.

How theoretical is it? Depends on the situation and how likely the 1,000 deaths are.

ABSOLUTELY NOT !
I am not the supporter of the cliche "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." That's the mantra of a lazy aristocrat.

Only if they are microscopic. Now the science has figured out how to use skin cells to do stem cell research, it has just taken the fun out of it.
