Quoting Charles Bernard? Quick search reveals he wasn't right in the head.
>Bernard's scientific discoveries were made through vivisection, of which he was the primary proponent in Europe at the time. He wrote:
>The physiologist is no ordinary man. He is a learned man, a man possessed and absorbed by a scientific idea. He does not hear the animals' cries of pain. He is blind to the blood that flows. He sees nothing but his idea, and organisms which conceal from him the secrets he is resolved to discover.[18]
>Bernard practiced vivisection, to the disgust of his wife and daughters who had returned at home to discover that he had vivisected their dog.[19] The couple was officially separated in 1869 and his wife went on to actively campaign against the practice of vivisection.
>His wife and daughters were not the only ones disgusted by Bernard's animal experiments. The physician-scientist George Hoggan spent four months observing and working in Bernard's laboratory and was one of the few contemporary authors to chronicle what went on there. He was later moved to write that his experiences in Bernard's lab had made him "prepared to see not only science, but even mankind, perish rather than have recourse to such means of saving it."[20]
