made me think about the moral/ethical possibilty of using guinea pigs in Alchemy.
Of course I don't mean giving already known poison (I know the dosage makes the poison) to animals.
I mean at least when you reached the point where you have made the secret solvent, and where chemistry can't help you anymore.
Is it in your opinions, when believing on a "higher goal", appropriate to first give it to poor innocent animals?
Or ingest it yourself and risk to irreversibly damage your health?
All the Work I've done over the years, always had myself as the lab rat first and foremost. If I'm right, death isn't a thing. If I'm wrong, then I simply sped up my own inevitability; Tis my life to spend how I choose or until circumstances strip the choice away (fatal accident).
I have only ever given anything to someone else, and/or a pet/familiar, AFTER I had tested it in myself and felt as certain as I could that it wouldn't hurt them. If anyone dies from my work, it'll be me. 
(And after 13 years of actively, constantly, doing such, no animals or people have died or been made worse. So I'm pretty pleased with things.)

That is not dead, which can eternal lie - and with strange aeons, even death may die.
