<i> NANCY BURNET, director of United Activists for Animal Rights in Riverside, commented on Congress' approval of fetal-tissue research funding. She told The Times:</i>

The term “vivisection” means to dissect a live, sentient being. It has been broadened in recent history to include all forms of invasive experimentation, including drowning, burning, crushing, starving, etc.

Physicians and scientists opposed to vivisection have tried to warn about the inaccuracy of conducting animal experiments for alleged research of human disease and trauma, and also about the desensitization it produces, which inevitably leads to human experimentation.

Fetal-tissue experimentation sounds innocent enough, but often human fetuses are ground up or cut open alive, and, like animals, are regarded as “specimens” or “tools,” not living, feeling beings.
