The other day I was watching a documentary about the ethics of scientific research. They documented one case about a doctor who successfully transplanted the head of a monkey onto the body of another monkey. The footage was extremely graphic, very disturbing. Once they had transplanted head¹ onto body² they attached head² to some sustaining tubes so that both of the heads were being kept alive by body². Head¹ regained consciousness, but could not move because it's impossible to connect all the nerves that would allow him to use his "new" body. They knew the monkey was conscious because its eyes were following the scientists around the room. Head² was being sustained by the same body, but it was sitting above in full view of the conscious monkey. The look on the monkeys face was one of shock, horror and hysteria. It was terrified of the shocking surroundings. They kept the monkey alive for one week before terminating it. Imagine what the monkey's last days on earth were like. Can you imagine yourself in his position?
Here's a photo from the actual experiment, before the monkey regained consciousness. The pictures are graphic, so turn back now if you're sensitive before scrolling down:

It was absolutely shocking.
And here are some other pictures of animal experimentation. The cat pictures remind me of Munch, because of the ports attached to their heads:
