Is this ethical? :
the psychology department is requesting permission from your committee to use 10 rats per semester for demonstrations in a physiological psychology class. the students will work in groups of three: each group will be given a rat. the students will first perform surgery on the rats. each animal with be anesthetized. following standard surgical procedures, an incision will be made in the scalp and two holes drilled in the animal's skull. electrodes will be lowered into the brain to create lesions on each side. the animals will then be allowed to recover. several weeks later, the effects of destroying this part of the animal's brain will be tested in a shuttle avoidance task in which animals will learn when to cross over an electrified grid. the instructor admits the procedure is a common demonstration and that no new information will be gained from the experiment. she argues, however, that students taking a course in psychology must have the opportunity to engage in small animal surgery to see firsthand the effects of brain lesions.

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
