Not exposing one's sins

Submitted by user2 on Tue, 2019-03-19 07:52

Q: I wanted to ask which sin is lesser of the two evils, exposing one's sin or lying? I am asking because if someone asks if you have comitted a sin, is it permissible to lie and say you haven't? Would that be better than exposing your sin? In a situation where you cannot avoid the question?

Using lab rats for medical experiments

Submitted by user2 on Sat, 2019-03-16 07:14

Q: I am a medical scientist working in a research facility. Our work is to develop new medications and treatments for various diseases.

When we need to test a certain medication to see its effectiveness, side effects, etc, we use lab rats as our test specimens. We first infect the rat with the disease and then inject it with the medication to see the result. In some cases, other animals are used as well.

Recently, this began to bother me, as I realised that we are abusing and harming these creatures. However, we have to test the medications on some subject, and we obviously cannot do so on people.

What should we do?
