manifest destination

today while sitting in class i was thinking about what was being said in respect to animal testing i kind of got the feeling that maybe humans view animal testing as some sort of manifest destiny. just like early Europeans viewed the land here in north America. they saw it as gods will to conquer the land and educate the natives. and nothing would stop them. i see the same similarities when it comes to animal testing and the way its viewed. instead of land being conquered, its human diseases. and it is seen as gods will. because any testing on humans would be considered inhumane because we are not lesser creatures.
