More data than anybody has been ready to accept points to the fact that insects' central nervous systems absorb pain in ways that are quite similar to how humans do. In the past, scientists used animals in what are … [Read more...] about Study: Insects Probably Experience Pain, Which Has Serious Effects On How We Treat Them
