    Ya I do have trouble with experimentation like this.

    Sure, you made his skin glow green, but maybe it burns like fire 24/7 and you’ll never know since it can’t tell you.

      If it burns it probably creates a sensation called pain.
      As it’s a baby it very likely would be very vocal about pain.

      We’d be able to know by studying the monkey. Not even for a long time either.
