2015理解强化练习及解析(13) To paraphrase18th-century statesman Edmund Burke,all that is neededfor the triumph of a misguided cause is that good people do nothing。One suchcause now seeks to end biomedical research because of the theory that animalshave rights ruling out their use in research. Scientists need to respondforcefully to animal rights advocates, whose arguments are confusing the publicand thereby threatening advances in health knowledge and care. Leaders of theanimal rights movement target biomedical research because it depends on publicfunding, and few people understand the process of health care research. Hearingallegations of cruelty to animals in research settings, many are perplexed thatanyone would deliberately harm an animal。 For example, a grandmotherly woman staffing an animal rights boothat a recent street fair was distributing a brochure that encouraged readers notto use anything that comes from or is animalsno meat , no fur, nomedicines, Asked if she opposed immunizations, she wanted to know if vaccinescome from animal research. When assured that they do, she replied, Then I wouldhave to say yes。 Asked what will happen when epidemics return, she said, Dont worry,scientists will find some way of using computers。 Such well-meaningpeople just don t understand。 Scientists must communicate their message to the public in acompassionate, understandable wayin human terms, not in the language of molecular biology. We need tomake clear the connection between animal research and a grandmother s hipreplacement, a father s bypass operation, a baby s vaccinations, and even apet s shots. To those who are unaware that animal research was needed toproduce these treatments, as well as new treatments and vaccines, animalresearch seems wasteful at best and cruel at worst。 Much can be done. Scientists couldadoptmiddleschool classes and present their own research. They should be quick to respondto letters to the editor, lest animal rights misinformation go unchallenged andacquire a deceptive appearance of truth. Research institutions could be openedto tours, to show that laboratory animals receive humane care. Finally, becausethe ultimate stakeholders are patients, the health research community shouldactively recruit to its cause not only well-known personalities such as StephenCooper, who has made courageous statements about the value of animal research,but all who receive medical treatment. If good people do nothing there is areal possibility that an uninformed citizenry will extinguish the preciousembers of medical progress。 26.
