"Madness or genius", I chose this text beacuse of the interesting content it talks about bizzare experiments which caught my eye.

The first picture I got from reading this article, was that science can be out of our imagination. We can put scientific reasoning behind anything, anyone. In the article it mentions creating double headed dogs, scientific research is suppose to be beneficial to the society and the progress of man kind, at least that is what I believe. As a whole, the article gives me a sense of cruelity, how humankind manipulates other creatures and trying to test their limits of the knowledge based on somethings that do not even relate to our needs.

However, I guess many important scientific breakthroughs came from madness, and the curiousity to do bizzare things. If it was not for the cave men playing with rocks and stone, we would never have discovered fire, therefore we would not even be exsisting right now! Of course, if the discovery is beneficial it would be an art of a genius, if it failed and created random results we call it madness. We have no right to define these experiements of being madness or genius.

Natural Science is what I think as constant experimentaling, like we at the very labs of our school. We draw conclusions, defining if it is useless or not. We set an aim before we do these experiments, of course we want to find something out. In my perspective, these bizzare experiments totally qualify being a good experiment, as they can draw results and conclusions out of it. However it may seem too out of the box for many people, reviving animal corpses, testing on elephants with LSD, and etc... These experiments maybe performed because everything useful that can be researched on has already been done, or not possible. The need of these experiments cannot be discussed, as it may contribute as some kind of benefit for us humans.
