[QUOTE="juliekem, post: 350329, member: 47477"] "I wonder if you'd been this outraged if it had been done in mice only" I don't like experiments on any animals but my main points have been 1) Animals should not be used when there are viable alternatives (and from my knowledge there are, nowadays;) 2) at the very least there should be comment on the ethics when they are used. What I really objected to most was the cold reporting of these tests without comment - I hoped to get this topic discussed and I have achieved that. To all who put words into my mouth, I have never suggested that research done in the past should be disregarded - like the comment about the horrble Nazi experiments on humans - we cannot change th e past [b]but we can change the future[/b]. The first step is to get people talking about this issue and I am grateful for ALL the comments - at least all of you have taken the trouble to think about the issue and reply. It might be a long time before animal experiments are ended but at least we can debate the issue and not simply accept the status quo. [/QUOTE]
