I also had some concerns with the study, but thought I would just let it go until you brought it up again. I try to look at things on the level that they are presented. As one interested in science, I have to question the design of their study. Anyone who has ever had a hole stuck in them, or observed it in other humans and animals, knows that nature takes its course and heals that wound in short order. If they really wanted to know the affects they should do a longitudinal study where they keep track of how the wound progresses over time. I'm pretty sure they would find that it heals right up and has no long-term deleterious effect.
This made me think of something else. I was fishing with a grandpa and his grandson this summer. The boy asked his grandfather if it hurt worms when we put them on hooks. He said it did. Not sure I agree. I have heard that worms, fish and other lower forms do not have the brain capacity to feel pain the way we do; thus the expression, "No brain, no pain." Anybody have a comment on this?

The older I get the more I would rather be considered a good man than a good fisherman.
