Nature holds no brief for the human experiment; it must stand or fall by its results. -- George Bernard Shaw
No doubt, humans will do a lot of damage before we ultimately destroy ourselves. But life will continue without humans. New forms of intelligence will emerge long after this human experiment is over. -- Zeena Schreck
We slow the progress of science today for all sorts of ethical reasons. Biomedicine could advance much faster if we abolished our rules on human experimentation in clinical trials, as Nazi researchers did. -- Paul Nitze
If we're interested in the continuation of the human experiment we need to focus on resilience and coping with change (whether natural or anthropogenic) rather than living as if God or nature has given us a nice, orderly, calm, Babbit-like existence. -- Dale Jamieson
The history of using mice to stand in for humans in medical experiments is replete with failures. -- Gary Wolf
America has never seen itself as a national state like all others, but rather as an experiment in human freedom and democracy. -- Brent Scowcroft
An animal experiment cannot be justifiable unless the experiment is so important that the use of a brain-damaged human would be justifiable. -- Peter Singer
The problem with experiments has always been that human beings make the decisions on whether or not the animals have benefitted from the treatment. -- James Randi
Ideas for my first experiments in human aggression came from discussions we had in a research seminar about William Golding's 'Lord of the Flies.' -- Philip Zimbardo
After all, when the world looks to America, they look to us because we are the most successful political and economic experiment in human history. -- Condoleezza Rice
Experiments with animals have long been handicapped by our anthropocentric attitude: We often test them in ways that work fine with humans but not so well with other species. -- Frans de Waal
I look at the human life like an experiment. Every new moment, every new experience, tragic or otherwise, is an opportunity to gain a more accurate perspective and helps lead me to clarity. -- Steve Gleason
Most of the time, those who use animals in experiments justify that use by pointing to alleged benefits to human and animal health and the supposed necessity of using animals to obtain those benefits. -- Gary L. Francione
When Twitter made its way to my radar I looked at it as a curiosity, then started experimenting. I approached that as a place to be less formal and more off-the-cuff, honest and 'human.' -- Trent Reznor
What constitutes a real, live human being is more of a mystery than ever these days, and men each one of whom is a valuable, unique experiment on the part of nature are shot down wholesale. -- Hermann Hesse
Geometric shapes hold an energy pattern, and scientists did some experiments which say certain geometric shapes can affect matter around them. It's simply because when a human looks at a shape, they instantly receive energy from their brain. -- Tom DeLonge
By preventing dangerous asteroid strikes, we can save millions of people, or even our entire species. And, as human beings, we can take responsibility for preserving this amazing evolutionary experiment of which we and all life on Earth are a part. -- Rusty Schweickart
Even such an obvious idea as to observe an animal with vertigo or to rotate an animal did not occur to him, in spite of the fact that he conducted numerous vertigo experiments with human subjects and made frequent use of animal experiments. -- Robert Barany
We're going to be focusing our science on things that will take us farther and longer into space. For many of those experiments, the crew members are human guinea pigs, which is fine; that's part of my job. I don't mind being a human guinea pig. -- John L. Phillips
We can do genetics. We can do experiments on fruit flies. We can do experiments on yeast. It's not so easy to do experiments on humans. So, in fact, it helps us, to interpret our own genetic code, to have the genetic code of the other species. -- Craig Venter
People think if you have deciphered the genome of humans that you can change everything. But you cannot change everything, because you do not know what the genes mean, and you have no methods for changing them, and you can't do experiments with humans like you can with animals. -- Christiane Nusslein-Volhard
There is increasing social concern about our use of nonhumans for experiments, food, clothing and entertainment. This concern about animals reflects both our own moral development as a civilization and our recognition that the differences between humans and animals are, for the most part, differences of degree and not of kind. -- Gary L. Francione
I do not believe that it could never be justifiable to experiment on a brain-damaged human. -- Peter Singer
It is only those who hope to transform human beings who end up by burning them, like the waste product of a failed experiment. -- Christopher Hitchens
Hope isn't an abstract theory about where human aspirations end and the impossible begins; it's a never-ending experiment, continually expanding the boundaries of the possible. -- Paul Rogat Loeb
There's nothing within science per se that says medical researchers must not experiment on human subjects; it is the imposition of ethical dogma that constrains the scientist. -- Jonah Goldberg
We act not for ourselves but for the whole human race. The event of our experiment is to show whether man can be trusted with self - government. -- Thomas Jefferson
