Actually, it's a difficult question to answer. In my opinion, it depends on the culture of the country or the province where the technology is located. But I think the things that are common among the countries or regions are the quality of life of the animal or plant used for the experiment in order to develop these kinds of technologies. We should not harm them to make engineering technology better because every life has its own mind, and we shouldn't destroy this mind or destroy the life, in my opinion.
