A CANCER PATIENT TORN BY MY LOVE FOR ANIMALS

 
December 4, 2013
A Sleepless Night.
 
We, who are cancer patients,
Are so grateful for the medicines
That are keeping us alive.
 
But how can we sleep at night,
Knowing that, in the lab,
Helpless animals are suffering
So that we might live?

 
 
When rhesus infants
Need to be cared for in the nursery,
They enjoy stuffed animal companions,
Similar to human infants.
