Should We Allow Curiosity to Kill the Cat

Science allows us to adopt dual standards in our attitude to animal welfare. We pay qualified researchers to conduct animal experiments that would land the rest of us in jail if we performed them on the family pet.

科学允许我们在对待动物福利的态度上采取双重标准：我们雇佣合格的研究人员来做动物实验，可是如果其他人拿家中的宠物做实验，就会被关进监狱.

adopt dual standards: use two different standards for the same thing采取双重标准
---They adopted dual standards when they dealt with this matter.

land: place, to put

Society sets limits on how animals can be treated in medical or agricultural research, based on the delicate balance between the practical value of the information sought and the pain and suffering inflicted.

社会对农业和医学研究中如何对待动物做了规定, 这一规定基于对所求信息的实用价值和动物因此所受的痛苦之间的微妙的平衡.

set limits on: put limits to or give rules to限制
---The airline has set strict limits on the weight of the passengers’ luggage.

based on … suffering inflicted 是过去分词短语修饰 limits, 其中sought 和 inflicted 分别修饰the information 和the pain and suffering.
