Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This suggestion threatens basic research, which is focused on expanding scientific knowledge without necessarily aiming for immediate practical applications. As animals are often used in basic research, a restriction on the use of animals only when there is a direct, apparent application to humans may significantly limit the scope of research that can be conducted. This could have negative implications for scientific advancement and discovery. The funding programs for applied research (B) may also be impacted, but to a lesser extent, as applied research typically has a more direct focus on practical applications. Research animals (C) may also be impacted, but the suggestion is primarily focused on limiting their use when there is no clear application to human health or well-being.
