This paper argues that the primary purpose of the blood prohibition in the Hebrew Bible is not to reflect ethical sensitivity toward animals; rather, it is part of an anthropocentric ideology that promotes both human ascendancy over, and kinship with, animals. The blood prohibition places a high...

Regarding the epigenome, a handful of candidate studies had initially provided evidence for differential DNA methylation at specific loci: the MOR gene in human blood [144,145,146], and a few loci in the rat brain [147]. At the genome-wide scale, 6 recent studies (1 in rats [60], 5...
The diversity of tissues and cell types within an organism adds another level of complexity. Different tissues and cell types have distinct protein expression profiles and may require different sample preparation methods. For example, the protein composition of blood plasma is very different from that...
It is also important to pay attention to the fact that according to criterion F, relevant symptoms are those that last for more than 1 month. It is not clear if 1 month in human’s life is translated exactly to 1 month in rodent’s life, but clearly it is of importance to consider ...
Abstract Sex is a fundamental pleasure, and crucial to the survival of our species. Though not many people would disagree with the proposition that sexual behaviour depends on the brain, the neuroscientific study of human sex is still relatively taboo and much remains to be discovered. On the ...
Blood clotting provides an example of the role of the extracellular matrix in cell communication. When the cells lining a blood vessel are damaged, they display a protein receptor called tissue factor. When tissue factor binds with another factor in the extracellular matrix, it causes platelets to...

It is a technique that is sometimes used to kill poultry, rabbits and livestock animals (e.g. sheep and goats) for human consumption, although this should technically be termed slaughter rather than euthanasia. Compared to the other methods discussed above, blood letting is a relatively slow ...
