actually it's pretty cool because they don't have to kill the frogs to do research.

It's cool but it's still a little freaky.

We want to commit no harm by not killing frogs. . . but, what are we F'ing with by creating mutant frogs. . . and, if the frogs are lab/Man grown, are they entitled to the same right to life as "regular" frogs?

AND, if the lab-grown frogs are in fact, entitled to the same right to life as regular frogs, aren't we oppressing them by keeping them for scholastic purposes versus setting them free into the wild?

AND, if we set them free into the wild, aren't we furthering the upset of the ecosystem in which "normal" frogs exsist?

AAAAAAGGHGHGHGHAAHGHGHGHG!!!!! I'm not a scientific ethicist; so, I should just keep drinking.

Any local creek will be abundant in frogs and mutants. Especially in stagnant water.
