Quote by: StrongHeartsWin  When recources can be better used to affect a net total of more people positively, and if the goal of science and medicine is to save as many people as possible, then that thing (in this case animal testing) IS avoidable due to alternative choices yeilding larger numbers saved due to alternative testing practices being available -- then in fact it would be a professional and moral duty to avoid animal testing if those recources could be applied more efficiently with greater results in the aggregate. | IF it is more efficient, and thereby cost effective, to use alternative testing methods then it is simply a matter of time before the pharma companies make the switch. There is no need for government to pass yet more laws in order to effect something that is inevitable.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
