Yet our good fortune should not makeus unappreciative. Protection from serious sickness and drugs to bat heart*disease, high blood pressure and stroke are al based on animalresearch. Most plex surgical procedures such as heart or hip surgery andorgantransplantationsurgerieswereinitial ydevelopedinanimals. Techniques to replace defective genes, the cause of so muchdisease, as wel as the development of synthetic organs are presentlyundergoing animal studies. These studies, and any subsequent advances, wileffectively end if animal research is severely restricted.8 In America today, death has bee an event isolated from our dailyexistence. As a doctor who has watched many children die and seen theirparents39。s choice1 I am the enemy! I am one of those cursed, cruel physician scientists involvedin animal research. These rumors sting, for I have never thought of myself asan evil person. I became a children39。s doctor because of my love for childrenand my supreme desire to keep them healthy. During medical schooland residency, I saw many children die of cancer and bloodshed from injury —circumstances against which medicine has made great progress but stil has along way to go. More importantly, I also saw children healthy thanks toadvances in medical science such as infant breathing support, powerful newmedicinesandsurgicaltechniquesandtheentirefieldof organ transplantation. My desire to tip the scales in favor of healthy, happychildren drew me to medical research.*2 My accusers have twisted the truth into a fable and cast me asthe devil. They claim that I have no moral pass, that I torture innocentanimals for the sole purpose of career advancement, and that my experimentshave no relevance to , an uncaring public barely watches,convincedthattheissuehasnosignificance,andpublicityconscious senators and politicians increasingly give way tothe lobbying of animal rights activists.3 We, in medical research, have also been unbelievably uncaring. We haveal owed the most extreme animal rights protesters to creep in and frame theissue as one of animal fraud and hatred. We have persisted in our belief thata knowledgeable public would consent to the importance of animal researchfor public health. Perhaps we have been mistaken in not responding to theemotional tone of the argument. Perhaps we should have responded to thosesad slogans and posters of animals by waving equal y sad posters of childrendying of cancer or external wounds.4 In the animal rights forum, much is made of the volume of pain these animalsexperience in the name of medical deny that we are trying tohelp and say it is evidence of our evil and cruel nature. A more reasonableargument, however, can be advanced in our defense. Life is often cruel toanimals and human beings. Teenagers are flung from trucks and suffer severehead injuries. Young children barely able to walk find themselves at the bottomof swimming pools while a parent is occupied with something else. Fromeveryday germs to gang violence, no life is free of pain. Physicians hoping torelieve the eternal suffering of these tragedies have only three choices: 1)create an animal model of the problem to understand the process and test newtherapies。 infinite grief, I am particularly angered by any minute expression ofcaring for the suffering of creatures and so little for sick and dying humanbeings. People are too protected from the reality of human life and death andwhat it means.9 Make no mistake, however. I would never advocate needless cruel treatmentof animals. The animal rights movement has made a contribution in making usmore aware of animals39。1 supreme 基本詞義表示“（程度）最大的，最高的，極度的”，一般用在名詞前作定語(yǔ)，修飾名詞，其副詞是 supremely，表示“極度地；極其”，常用于強(qiáng)調(diào)不好的品質(zhì)。*superior 后可以接介詞 to，表示 “比…更好的/更強(qiáng)的/更有效的”，在句中一般用作表語(yǔ)或
