Scientists are trying to study people’s disease by using animals to some tests….Although there is a continuous debate about the ethic of the approach, scientists are still trying to study people. my response: The topic of the article is really interesting. It is my first time to know that sheep are able to recognize people’s face. That is an amazing story. If I have an opportunity, I prefer to take part in those experiments camyang https://padlet.com/camyang/h3gpuwcts7jt/wish/205582870

They did the experiment of whether the sheep can discern the different faces. In the experiment, the researchers gave some reward for the sheep if they were able to recognize the face correctly.

question2:
I think it is interesting to do the experiments with animals. If I had chance, I would be willing to do such experiments, because in the passage, the author shows that understanding how comparable brain structures function will help researchers develop a cure. This experiment will help people solve some deadly disease. It will be a huge success in biology field.
 
question3:There are some arguments about the feasibility of the study. The disease comes from people, so using the sheep to study may not have a effective result. Thus it is better to have study on human in order to solve the disease.

Q2
  The experienments are quite interesting since it's trying to test some human capabilities on animals. And the purpose of trying to find some connections of brain to solve deadly disease is so intriguing. But, if I have a chance to participate in such experienment, I won't try it. Because I feel a little uncomfortable with sheep.
Q3
 Personally, I'm not so sure what the ethical issue is. But, I guess it's about does the sheep which are called as "animal models" matter or not. ]]> 2017-11-11 03:50:28 UTC https://padlet.com/camyang/h3gpuwcts7jt/wish/205853123 vacabulary1 soqli https://padlet.com/camyang/h3gpuwcts7jt/wish/205853523 cognitive(adj)
