Reconsidering Terminology in Animal Studies

In research involving animals, they are often sacrificed to understand the short-term, medium-term, and long-term effects of experiments. The term 'sacrifice' is commonly used in the scientific community to refer to this practice, but there is a call for finding a more sensitive and appropriate term given the ethical implications. Animal testing is crucial for scientific progress, but efforts should be made to rethink the terminology used in describing the sacrifice of animals in research studies.
