Only too happy to.

Kube, what world are you living on where that counts as a justification? I am in support of animal testing, but at least I accept the responsibility that it is forced and cruel. Animals are not in a position to give consent, whether they would like to or not, therefore it can never be voluntary. If I mug someone I can't seriously claim that it may have actually been gift-giving just because the other person didn't object. How about we test on humans in vegatative states? They might agree to it, or maybe not, but until they say no we're in the clear, right?
Yes I was only saying that because stronghearts is coming at this topic from a biased and unfair perspective. I was just trying to tell the fact that I doubt too many humans would willfully volunteer for medical testing. SHW is only pointing out the facts that everyone already knows in that we know there is not going to be an animal volunteering to be tested on. This is not equal consideration of interest because it involves something that cannot be done. We can never tell if an animal wants to willfully voolunteer to be tested on. And I'd like to point out what an outrageous comment SHW posted about it. Add that to the Debate Wall of Shame...
