<p>Yes, the term is “sacrificed” is unfortunately used today in many research labs in the US.<p>My advisor had a *strict* policy against people using that terminology in the lab and in his department.<p>“We sometimes euthanize or kill animals in a part of the difficult process of research. We do not sacrifice them - we are not making offerings to some deity. We are conducting research, not participating in a religion.”<p>“Sacrifice” is a euphemism that serves only to disconnect the ethical and emotional burden of killing animals for research [0].<p>And I deeply sympathize with your ethical and emotional guilt. The research I did in my PhD contributed to the foundational knowledge in my field, but not without severe and serious tolls. The way people become normalized to euthanasia in research environments is scary.<p>[0] <a href="https://openworks.mdanderson.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?params=/context/word2024/article/1001/&path_info=2024_02_sacrificed_euthanized_FINAL.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://openworks.mdanderson.org/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?params=...</a></p>
