[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 350113, member: 19121"] Hi juliekem, try not to take comments here too personally, this is a sensitive issue but you have to remember that you are talking to many T1 diabetics here who would not be alive today if it weren't for animal testing, and testing in the past was a lot less humane than it undoubtedly is today. Is it humane to test on animals? Well animals are not human so the question is wrong to start with and anyway humans are capabler of much worse atrocities than testing in order to help others. Is it wrong to test on animals? Well that is a very subjective question IMHO, some people will be absolutely against it and a lot of those people will be vegetarian due to they believes but not all. And some will be for it and many of those will be alive today because of it but not all. I guess it boils down to whether you choose to life or the lives of laboratory animals, personally I do as I have been close to death and were it not for animal testing I probably would be, just as every T1 diabetic would be too. So please bear in mind other peoples feeling on this subject, I doubt anyone here would willingly be cruel to an animal but testing for new drugs and procedures needs to be carried out or we would still be prescribing leeches for everything. That last sentence is absurd I realise but I use it to emphasise my point. [/QUOTE]
