I looked it up. Here's what the trial is about: they're inducing osteoarthritis in 10 laboratory beagles, and then seeing if their drug will reverse it.

If it doesn't reverse it, those laboratory animals will spend the rest of their lives in pain, even though they had no pain until the scientists forced them to have it.

I wouldn't want to get younger. I want to live WELL - for however many years I have left. A dog with a removed spleen won't suddenly grow a new spleen with medicine. That's what this dog has already gone through.

What a horrible thing to do to these poor dogs
