You mean like the cowardly miscreants who terrorize them?

And when you need to cure whatever ailment you or a loved one contracts, 
you'll be an ingrate for all the research it took. That won't stop you 
from taking the medicine.

I said your concern is non-existent; your understanding is a different 
issue. This isn't about radicalizing definitions. It's about how you 
treat other citizens.

Winking about it is cowardly.

Because they're human beings. The law kind of demands it.

I don't accept that researchers treat lab animals with indifference. I 
do accept, though, that AR terrorists treat others that way. They've 
decided that two wrongs make a right even when the rest of society has 
determined that the only wrong in the equation is the one that harms 
humans. I was going to personalize all of this paragraph, but I don't 
want to make you feel like you're a terrorist. After all, you're just a 
gutless coward who gets her jollies through voyeurism -- reading the 
news about those who have the courage of their sick convictions. Your 
little efforts with the bait stations are meaningless.
