The Echoes of Life’s Unknown

Title: The Echoes of Life’s Unknown

In laboratories concealed from view,
A myriad of creatures undergo,
Testing and trials, their pain concealed,
Heartrending whispers that must be revealed.

Though hopes were high for a brighter dawn,
EPA’s plan was swiftly withdrawn,
Mammals, once spared from testing’s domain,
Shifted to shadows, their voices in vain.

Computer models, a promising quest,
Unveiling a future where life is blessed,
Yet doubts remain, the echoes persist,
In answers sought, do we boldly persist?

Can machines capture life’s intricate dance,
Immerse in emotions, true and enhance,
Or will nature’s secrets forever deny,
The essence that in mammals does lie?

With compassion waning, concerns arise,
Can virtual worlds unveil the guise,
Of biology’s wonders, ethereal art,
Or will we trade truth for illusions to impart?

The debate rages, a crossroads is near,
Where science and ethics fiercely cohere,
In this juncture, let wisdom prevail,
For mammal testing’s whispers should unveil.
