Jill brought up a really interesting point in that, as humans we are studying animals in relation to ourselves. We force these animals to use their appendages as if they were human arms and hands. Attempting to recreate a rat brain, more specifically the parts for reason and self-awareness allows for enormous assumptions. What makes a rat self-aware? How could humans possibly know what self-aware is for anything other than our own selves? I believe the recent advances in technology are extraordinary, but what are they good for? Do some humans truly believe they are so evolved that besides eternal life, we have no where to go and must therefore exploit and manipulate other beings? I do not view advancements in science, due to the exploitation of another species, as advancements. It's like the cat playing with it's prey before it eats it. This is action is truly selfish. I believe this type of science is truly selfish but sold under the mask of "advancing our species".
