I probably represent a small portion of the population by saying this but I do not condone animal testing for even medical research. I think we should cherish all forms of life and that quality is much more important that quantity. I realize that medical research is necessary and that it has made great strides from the use of animals. At this point, I think we should take advantage of the other modalities that we have to explore and improve existing measures. As for humans and animals...we need to spend more time appreciating what we have, for nothing is forever!
Although these are thoughts that I keep coming back to, I can not say that I'm 100% sold on even my own argument. What a great subject to talk about!
