great post-- but I must admit... people want their medications to work for them, at the same time don't want humans themselves to be the subjects of such experimentation-- how else can researchers get to you--
Antivirals ,Antineoplastics, Anti-fungals ,anti-bacterial, antiprotozoal/anthelmintie drug-- plus the hose of others not mentioned here if not tested first on animals to determine lethal dose to effective dose to volume of distribution and excretion .. I mean honestly do you think people should be subjected to such clinical trials or animals? I am not talking about cosmetologist testing... I am speaking of hard core drugs that the population at large uses everyday...
I am glad my mom's cholesterol meds and blood pressure meds were tested first on animals and gone through extensive FDA approval...
That is not to say that I approve of murdering animals for no apparent reason.. or subjecting them to cruel experimentation without an intended outcome... but I think I'd rather sacrifice a lab rat even if the medication didn't prove to be useful--as opposed to some human life when testing for a drug....
