It’s a little grim, but there’s a standard SCI (spinal cord injury) guillotine that drops a weight with an angled wedge to cause a near perfectly replicable SCI. The mouse is sedated, but it’s not exactly a good time for the mouse.

But yeah, the alternative is testing on humans, which, I really don’t think we need a reminder on why that’s super illegal.
