Reason #2,008: Pretty sure this breaks the Geneva Convention

Rule 92 forbids the use of human test subjects for medical or scientific experiments unjustified for the subject’s health. Mutilation of said subjects is also forbidden. Not that I expect Vedalken physicians care much about the Geneva Convention. The MTG Wiki describes the Vedalken as having “a dispassionate view toward life,” so go figure. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say they should care about Rule 92. Also gonna go out on a limb and say Rule 92 could reasonably be extended to elves.
