Why do we think it's okay to test on animals for AIDS?AIDS is a disease that people brough upon themselves.Why should animals pay the the price?If people wanna find cures they should grow some balls and test on themselves.

"Animal testing is allowed because people testing is considered unethical. Personally, I want to find out if a medication kills a bunny before I take it."WTF makes you think a human is worh more than a rabbit?The way I see it it's both unethical but you think it's okay because it's a rabbit right?Specieist?And yes I would volunteer if I had aids.

Okay the I have another question to add to this.How would you feel if an alien race far more advanced than you needed to test on something and they took you're mother.You wouldnt like it would you.There is nothing that makes a human life more valuable than any other life when it comes down to it it's life and we should protect all of it be it rat or human.If we human beings want to learn how to respect each other then maybe we should learn how to respect other creatures that share this planet.

Testing on animals is unjustified regardless of the benefits.The creature doesnt have a say in anything and it doesnt deserve to be poisoned just to save yur life.

okay, then why is HUMAN testing allowed?
if it weren't for people such as myself, cures would never be found at all for many diseases out there who now have either a cure or a preventative cure.
we don't just test on animals. we test on humans as well.
animals are used (certain ones depending on what disease the scientists are trying to cure or treat) because they are the closest thing to humans. not all cures can be tested on animals because it is not possible for them to be a host.
regardless, you may feel it's wrong, but i know human nature enough to know that if it were someone you loved, you'd find a way to help....and unfortunately, sometimes we have to have a live "being" to host the disease, so they can experiement to help find treatments.
we are however, are more for animal rights now. soon we will be able to use live donor tissues to find cures and diseases without the use of animal or human guinea pigs.

Uproarious giggling is coming from my computer room right now.
1. Animal testing is allowed because people testing is considered unethical. Personally, I want to find out if a medication kills a bunny before I take it.
2. Once the bunny testing has been completed, it is tested on people. And then we get fiascos like Phen-Fen and Vioxx.
3. What would happen if no one volunteered for the testing? You can only forcibly test on so many homeless indigents before you run out of them.
4. Do you know anything about the origin of HIV/AIDS? Did you bother to study up on it before unleashing your ignorant fingers upon your poor, innocent keyboard? Probably not...and I'm sure you aren't interested in learning. Denial and ignorance are always easier that education, aren't they?
5. As for growing balls- scientists are hard at work learning to do this. Unfortunately, they are using bunnies to conduct the preliminary tests.

The alternative is to test on humans
Either volunteer or accept animal testing....you can't have both
Doing AIDS testing on ourselves is not growing balls, it's just stupid
Like it or not, humans are the superior race and i'd much rather have 1000 dead rats than 1000 dead humans

I think multiple choice is the way forward for definite. Simply true or false is open to guess work where would that get us? Why bother in the first place if the answers will lack credibility?

People didn't bring AIDs on themselves.
We are still unsure of its origination.
We are testing animals to see if it was caused by a mutated gene or some other factor.

I think we should test these drugs on convicted murderers and child molesters. Let them do something positive for society.
