My thoughts exactly. Turning a living creature into a plaything and masquerading it as educational is just sick. It degrades the creature, and it degrades the science.

I shall add it also degrades human beings when doing it "for fun is" disguised as "a science experiment".

I don't know if it's the case here and I am comfortable seeing this kind of things done in a classroom.

I hope there are more ways to interact with the electronics than an iphone app though.
