Quote by: StrongHeartsWin  G., you haven`t thought much on why it persists. One of the main reasons animal testing persists is that the government regulates animal testing and therefore those regulations and mandates need to be repealed. Pharmaceutical companies often persist in continuing them merely out of legal protection to protect them from damages in suits saying they conducted experiments as has been done traditionally to insure safety. It is a regurgitated cycle that propels itself.
Therefore, a change towards efficiency is made much more harder, and artificially so, -- due to the impositions of law and the threat of legal action. Those propel it forward despite the fact that animal models are misleading and not accurate or efficient ones for humans in the aggregate. | I'm a libertarian, so I'm in full support of widespread deregulation. This is an area that certainly could do with some jiggery pokery to simplify the system. So if your arguing we should bring the state out of medical research, we're in agreement here.
Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
