I bet they’re sacredelicious.

I’ve never actually owned a set of encyclopedias.

Made even more sad given that, as a child, he likely received the MMR vaccine.

These fools never seem to think about that part.

“I have people skills!! What the hell is wrong with you people!?”

At least X is for xylophone.

Because X is always for xylophone.

What can someone get for trading a truck?

I wish anti-vaxxers would think really hard and realize that 99% of them received the MMR (and others) vaccine as a child.
Numb fucks don’t understand that it’s vaccines that let them live as healthy as they have.

And how many still receive flu vaccine every year? I’ll bet that while many are spouting anti-vaxxer bullshit out of one side of their mouth, they’re quietly scheduling the yearly shots out of the other.
Can’t throw around lies when sick in bed.

You know… Come on, Russia. Send those bombs and let’s wrap this up.

Next she’ll start adding magnets into the mix.

It flies under the radar, but I really liked him as the crooked warden in Lock Up.

I made the mistake of juicing raw potatoes once, figuring the other vegetable juices like beets and carrots would mask any of the potato flavor.

Won’t ever do that again.

If only we had vaccines for this.
Oh, wait.

Tell me someone is ‘fuck you rich’ without telling me they’re ‘fuck you rich’.

But what is animal consciousness in terms of being self-aware? Pigs are damn smart, but I’m not sure they’re on the list of animals that exhibit self-awareness.

Also, the article merely states that blood flow to the brain was interrupted, not that the head was removed, which, I’m guessing, is why brain activity was largely unchanged.
If the head was still attached to the spine, then I would assume that all the nerves were still functioning normally. As normal as they would in an anesthetized pig that is, with no interference from outside stimulus. In this study, the animal was quietly sleeping. I can’t imagine any reputable doctor of science today doing such a thing to a conscious animal or human.

And, in one of the linked articles, it talks about how this research can further work on better life saving techniques for humans by developing much better blood and oxygen machines used during complicated surgeries.
So long as the animal is treated respectfully, I have no issue in using animals for research that help human medicine.
