What do you think about animal testing?

CIS · October 11, 2014, 09:18:37 PM

Do you believe that the ends justify the means or do you believe that it's cruel and inhumane?

Provided that the animals are well taken care of otherwise, then I don't have a problem with it.

Also, I just want an excuse to post this... punchline related

Depends on the testing, but yes I approve of animal testing.

But what about medicine that is tested on animals before humans.

well, we gotta test things on something. Animals are more expendable than humans.

There are better ways, and animal testing is rather inconclusive with human trials.

What else are we going to test our medicine on? Plants? We should be testing medicine on the animals that we have the closest DNA too. Which is why we use rats and apes for testing.

Human tissue. Animal testing isn't really reliable at all.

Animal testing is reliable which is why we do it you derp, and no human is going to volunteer to take a drug that has never been tested before on anything.

You cantest on human tissue in a petri dishes which is much more effective.

Completely for it when it comes to medicine/science.

I'm only not against it for things like cosmetics on the grounds that the animal isn't harmed.
