Do you really believe they only test on animal?
Wea re all subjects in tests of new drugs. When a new drug is released the doctors prescribe for EVERYTHING. This is called "the drug of choice". Till they (the doctors and the drug companies) determine that the drug in question only actually treats this illness or that conditioin.
The SSRIs are a good case in point. They gave them to young teenagers till they determined they were not at all good for kids under 16. And the SSRIs have been given for EVERYTHING anxiety, depression, OCD, social anxety, agoraphobia, schizphrenia, paranoia, Psychosis, neurosis, PMS, PTS, stress, siezure disorder, and much more!! They don't work for most of those condition! And they are finding that the SSRIs can cause sever suicial depression and tht certian food potentiate the effects.
Humans are being used to test the new drugs. Make no mistake. Ask your doctor how many drug studies he is particpating in.

Did you know !.....a vet once told me its OK to test on an animal but that cure would be for an animal how can a cure be the same for an animal because humans are humans and animals are animals.!I hope your daughter is well now.

I agree with you. The drug that gave my grandmother an extra 5 months before she passed away was very probably tested on animals, and if I had to choose between the two there is absolutely no contest.
I do disagree with animal testing for products like perfume and lipstick however, these are really two very different issues.
Glad to hear your daughter was ok!

I agree with you. Human life is the most valuable thing on Earth. Testing on animals may be sad, but it is a method that is necessary to promote the greater good.

These days there is no need to test on animals any more. Your dandruff can be used to clone some cells that would produce a more accurate test result.
Besides, child sex offenders should be used instead.

I agree. Former President Regan opposed Stem Cell Research. After taking care of him through the entire progression of Alzheimer ’s Disease, his widow Nancy is now a strong supporter.
It's easy to take the high road when a loved one's life is not at stake.

I agree. Test on animals. Test on humans that consent and volunteer.
