Animal Experimentation Ethics

Quoted By: >>13432797

What are the current protections for animals in the case of lab use? Do they vary from country to country? Do international organizations regulate such things? Which species receive protections and which ones don't?

(I do recognize the importance of animals in labs and the like. That being said, I hope they avoid pain for the most part. I have heard stories of experiments which seem very distressing).

There are international guidelines but in most countries, actual regulations are set forth on a national level and are enforced by institutions.
In America, the treatment of animals in research is regulated by the Animal Welfare Act of 1966. Individual research institutions have to apply for a permit and they have to have an ethics board. The ethics board then reviews each animal experimentation project and gives approval or suggests modifications.

I'd like to point out that some ethics boards (in Canada at least) have a spot for a community representative, meaning a layperson who sits in and has a right to vote on the projects, as a representative for the general public. If you're interested in this, you could maybe google around and apply at your local university!

Are Humans Self-Domesticating?

I was reading Darwin and he discussed the concept of Domestication Syndrome (although it didn't have that name) at the time. Basically, we turned animals into sóyboys when we domesticated them. I looked it up because it was intriguing and I found this video which discusses a possible theory for why it happens
>https://youtu.be/R7flhfV31-0
Anyway, is it possible humans are doing it to ourselves as well?

What do you mean? William’s syndrome is a specific chromosomal disorder. Idk if it has a direct equivalent in domestic animals.

Different poster, I know what you mean, domesticated animals get floppy ears, shorter mouth. Cats dont, maybe they arent really that domesticated.
I also read that domestication is also accompanied by anti domestication in animals or humans that self select out of domestication. In humans this is seen as aggressive males that tend to migrate towards warzones, depleting their hometowns of aggressive phetonotypes

>Anyway, is it possible humans are doing it to ourselves as well?
We did a long time ago. Look at the vast majority of animals we domesticated: more neotenous features, more docility, more agreeableness and less aggression. We achieved domestication of wolves through the culling of violent wolves and favoring of docile ones, and similar things have happened throughout human history, with violent humans being removed from the genepool and cooperative humans rewarded. We have more neotenous features and less physical strength then our ancestors, we're extremely cooperative as a species, we've just gone the self-domestication route, like cats as opposed to conscious and deliberate domestication.

A nanobot that lies dormant in the body until signaled by an encrypted signal at which point it causes cancer or other natural looking diseases to those that dont look too deeply into the cause which is 99.9% of humanity because they are mostly retarded donkeys who just listen to whatever the tv tells them the """""""""exerts"""""""" say and silence anyone else that has actually figured out what is really happening.

I would then release a virus that is pretty much no different than the common cold and say everyone that has a cold or the flu has caught it and make all the retards scared to death of it by blasting how dangerous it is on the tv 24/7 for years at a time and convince them they need to be vaccinated and have my nanobots in the vaccine.

This way I am not really responsible for actually even killing them, they will VOLUNTEER to get injected with these nanobots in fact they WAIT IN LINE TO GET IT AND ADMONISH the people who arent retarded redit cattle and try and force them to get it too.

This way I can depopulate the planet and enslave everyone left when it is all over. CWAAAZY plan heh right?

But before this thread gets deleted, here's the best I can come up with right now. Just do practice problems. If you can't do the olympiad ones, starts with U Waterloo's Euclid past years, then move your way up to the olympiad. Literally practice problems is all you need to do. The more practice problems you do, the more little tricks you come up with, and as you come up with more little tricks, the breadth of problems you can solve intuitively right off the bat, or at least with increased ease, will slowly expand.

Do undergrad math subjects. Learn to prove theorems. Solve the problems from earlier years. Here's good advice: commies in the 90's. You want to get good at this nigger shit? Find some Soviet or Chinese or Romanian problems from the early 90's. Good stuff those commies did back then, shame about everything else. Not really. Niggers.

Or better yet - skip the olympiad faggotry. It's competitive mental illness for autistic nerds. And I say this as someone who has wasted his high-school years on this bullshit as well. No, I'm not just coping because I never won any awards.
There are better ways to fuel your 'tism. Nobody in the workforce is gonna ask you about your ability to memorize patterns related to abstract high-school geometry problems. Even if you work as a pure matematician, which is very unlikely, you're better off specializing in topology or just becoming a CS drone.

Alright, /sci/. I don't speak virologese, so I need someone to translate the abstract from
>http://hmi-us.com/publications/sars-cov-2-prion-like-domains-in-spike-proteins-enable-higher-affinity-to-ace2.html

> Currently, the world is struggling with the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Prion-like domains are critical for virulence and the development of therapeutic targets; however, the prion-like domains in the SARS-CoV-2 proteome have not been analyzed. In this in silico study, using the PLAAC algorithm, we identified the presence of prion-like domains in the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Compared with other viruses, a striking difference was observed in the distribution of prion-like domains in the spike protein, since SARS-CoV-2 was the only coronavirus with a prion-like domain found in the receptor-binding domain of the S1 region of the spike protein. The presence and unique distribution of prion-like domains in the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domains of the spike protein is particularly interesting, since although the SARS-CoV-2 and SARS-CoV S proteins share the same host cell receptor, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), SARS-CoV-2 demonstrates a 10- to 20-fold higher affinity for ACE2. Finally, we identified prion-like domains in the ?1 helix of the ACE2 receptor that interact with the viral receptor-binding domain of SARS-CoV-2. Taken together, the present findings indicate that the identified PrDs in the SARS-CoV-2 receptor-binding domain (RBD) and ACE2 region that interact with RBD have important functional roles in viral adhesion and entry.

The authors studied the protein sequence from the spike (S) protein of SARS-CoV-2. The spike (S) protein is the one which binds to ACE2, a receptor protein on human cells, so that the virus can enter. There is a specific part of the S protein which binds to ACE2, it's called the Receptor Binding Domain.
The authors analysed the protein sequences from the S proteins of multiple coronaviruses and found that they contain some Prion-like Domains (PrD). The PrDs are special because they can move around a lot. Authors found that while all coronaviruses have PrDs in their S protein, only SARS-CoV-2 has PrDs in its RBD.
Furthermore, they analysed the sequence from ACE2 and found that it also had PrDs.

Altogether, they feel like the PrDs in the RBD of the S protein are very good at making sure that there's a nice link between S protein and ACE2.

It was interesting read but I don't feel like there's enough data to convince me that PrDs are beneficial to such an extent.
Also this is a preprint :((( maybe you should wait for the peer-review before posting?
