Animal Testing
Scientists have figured out how to infect mice with the virus responsible for the common cold. They claim that this could lead to a more complete understanding of the virus' behavior and the development of possible treatments. This is not great news if you're a lab mouse, but it probably beats grislier fates like having your spine severed or being forced to digest carcinogenic substances.

A lot of animal testing isn't even needed, either.
