The lot of you are all taking for granted the advertising propaganda fed to us by the pharmaceutical-medical-chemical-medical research industry. While i respect and share many of Kevin's morals, such an approach is unfruitful in my mind. It misses the point... it doesn't challenge the premise on which animal research (vivisection) is promoted.
Vivisection is done for supposedly scientific reasons, supposedly to advance human sickness care. They are the claims that have to be challenged and questioned.
For detailed articles by doctors, scientists and former animal researchers who campaign to abolish animal research because it is
a fraud, a huge waste of money and creates human damages & suffering through the application of misleading animal results, check out:

None.
