Quote by: kubedawg  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... |
SHW is right in saying that there are no voluntary animal tests. A more appropriate response to him would be "So? And?", not twisting around a ludicrous suggestion that animals may or may not volunteer, we just don't know.
Humans do engage in a massive amount of later stage medical testing, not because it's good or bad for society, but because they are paid well. If you up the money on offer, there would be those that would go in for earlier stage testing. You would/should also need less test subjects, because the results would be much more relevant to their intended application.
