the purpose of the study of biology is to gain more of an appreciation and respect for the myriad living beings that we share our planet with. it is not to learn how to manipulate individuals and species and use them in whatever ways we see fit to serve our ends.
knowledge is useless at best and torturous at worst if it is not controlled by the guiding principle of respect for the lives of other living creatures and concern for how our actions may negatively impact them.
