Sheep Experiments, ...to cure homosexuality Options

[BonneVache]

At the heart of these multi-million-dollar experiments, which are funded by taxpayers through the year 2008, is the goal of identifying a biological basis for homosexuality in sheep in an effort to “cure” homosexuality in humans. OHSU experimenter Charles Roselli is killing scores of sheep and cutting open the brains of rams he calls “male-oriented” (homosexual) in an attempt to find the hormonal mechanisms behind homosexual tendencies, so that they can subsequently be changed.

Well first off I'm against animal testing to begin with & homosexuality hasn't been considered a mental illness for quite some time and isn't in need of a 'cure'. Anyone seen the movie Hard Pill?

So yea, your thoughts on both killing sheep for testing and 'curing' homosexuality.

What if they killed the sheep, used whatever they needed.. and then fed the poor and hungry with that same exact sheep that was killed... that would benefit everyone, in my opinion.

I don't think feeding people test sheep is the best course of action. I would venture to guess that to some extend medications & drugs are used on the sheep during the tests, or while they're being raised, that would make them unsuitable for eating...
I'm not saying thats true, but even if that isn't the case I don't think the public would like the idea of shipping off test sheep to be eaten.

I would also doubt that the sheep would be suitable for eating based on how they would be handled after their death + I doubt the lab would be willing to spend the extra time and money to conform its practices to meet such standards.

So yea, the whole "feed the sheep to the poor" idea really doesn't click if you think about it.
