(Yes, me again.)
I'm also helping a friend out on Animal Testing, and also have no clue how to link Animal Testing and The California State Chemistry Standards together. If you can help just list a few things of how chemistry and Animal Testing are related. Thanks again.

Animal testing is used to see possible drug interactions that cannot be forseen in a petri dish.

Suppose you have a new drug candidate. This molecule (chemistry) seems to be effective agains the target virus or bacteria in a petri dish (glass based testing). Additionally, the molecule will be tested in glass against standard enzymes that are found in the body to see how the drug interacts with the standard enzymes.

If all looks positive, the next step is to start testing on mice. Somehow, you must test the drug candidate on live animals to search for unforseen side reactions as well as to confirm the primary effectiveness of the drug. There are no computer models (as yet) to effectively duplicate seeing what happens with a drug molecule in a live body. If mice are OK, then the drug will be tested on larger animals. There is a long way to go before the drug is tested on humans. Over 90% of drug molecules fail early on because of interactions discovered early on in animal tests.

Fro drugs, the factor is to aim drugs to work out in the event that they're incredibly risk-free for people and that if there are element outcomes, how severe are they and the thank you to handle them. surgical approaches are additionally examined on animals in the previous they're used on people. For arrogance products, the factor is the comparable different than the biggest subject is to evade courtroom circumstances from human beings whose hair became crimson from shampoo or whose faces broke out from make up etc etc. For nutrition, lower back to aim and notice of that bag of chips does not turn Junior into the Hulk or he does not merely keel over and die.etc If human beings supply up various those frivolous courtroom circumstances against companies for each thing interior the wish of "prevailing" great, sorting out would be a great deal decreased. maximum people who're against animal sorting out for drugs are generally people who savour somewhat reliable wellness and function on no account necessary an experimental drug to maintain their lives or have seen a kin member waste away and die horribly by way of fact the drug hasn't been released yet. And every person who argues that some drugs had element outcomes no longer shown in animal sorting out fail to show that hundreds of different drugs whose outcomes have been envisioned via sorting out. And none of them have worked or have first hand adventure with the wellness or drug marketplace. All their "data" are propoganda from time table pushed web content. And via regulation, ALL medications might desire to be examined on animals, even vegan "friendly" ones. And all physicians will prescribe any drug which will shop their affected person;s lives whether they're , for exposure purrposes, suuposedly againsgt animal sorting out.
