“In many ways, rats and mice get greater protection as research subjects in the United States than do humans,” said Arthur L. Caplan, chairman of the department of medical ethics at the University of Pennsylvania.

And those are animals people don't like. When it's an animal people like, such as horses or dogs, people really get into it. Mike Vick and the dogfighting ring? If you held the same thing, but with humans -- say, "humanfighting" -- people would cheer it on as people battled in rings and cages.

Still, I think horsefighting would be pretty popular.
