Smarter than Lab Rats?

Addiction studies have shown that laboratory rats will choose cocaine over food and water. Rats will also take huge electric shocks or press a lever over 10,000 times to get a dose of cocaine. Left on their own, they will inject themselves to death. Humans are different from rats, right?

Yes. Rather than electric shocks, human addicts empty their bank accounts, sell their possessions, commit crimes, sell their bodies, and betray their loved ones. Think you can use cocaine casually? Think again. If you’re using coke and you’re not addicted, you’re just not addicted yet.

if i based in the article, rats are smarter in some ways comparing to humans. they choose to kill themselves than to hurt other just to have cocaine. we humans have larger brains, but some use it for destroying ones self...addiction is not good.
