[G. Adams]

Quote by: StrongHeartsWin Quote me where I said, "all" medical research was done by animal testing? If my memory is correct, it was either you or Kubedawg that I requested to quote me accurately. Please go back and do so if you cannot paraphrase correctly. I find it hard to believe that you are incapable of that. A mouse sure is not an accurate model for us. A human is an accurate model for humans. In fact, it is the perfect accurate model because it is identical to our biology. Wouldn`t you agree to that? There are many who would volunteer for testing in a variety of ways with incentives and inducements. In addition the U.S. prison population alone is about 2 to 3 million people. What a waste for a child rapist murderer to be executed without giving something back to society from which he took.

Testing on inmates is cruel and unusual, however vile their crimes. Even if it led to a reduced sentence, the choice to undergo testing would not be entirely voluntary. It also set's a hideous precedent. In China they are selling executed prisoners organs to the highest bidder, usually wealthy foreigners. I'm sure the Chinese authorities claim they're making sure that criminals are giving something back to society too.
