HEART V. MIND
" Modern physicists may count themselves fortunate in tehir field of inquiry. There is no society for the protection of atoms; they may be bombarded, exploded, and tortured in every possible way without evoking any protest. Modern astronomers assure us that the tortures to which atoms are submitted in our experimental laboratories are as nothing in comparison to what happens to them in the burning centres of the universe. We give chemists the utmost freedom to do with the elements as they will; we never seek to' restrain geologists from probing to their depths the ancient wounds of Mother Earth. But when we experiment with matter in that state we are confronted with a new attitude of mind—our hearts as well as our heads are challenged."—Sir Arthur Keith in defence of vivisection.
