    If in 1,000 years time we have become an enlightened species and have assigned protected status to all life forms higher than viruses and bacteria, this will be considered a terrible act of torture with questionably scientific value.

        Excuse me, I am setting myself up to be the voice of reason when little kids on the moons of Saturn in their history classes read all about the disgusting ways Guðlaug forced those peaceful tropical plants into the cold dirt of Iceland.
