er.. if you notice, the original question was about medical testing on animals, presumably referring to drug tests and development.

I suggest what it then comes down to is which you find worse from a "purely emotive" view; avoidable deaths of humans or deaths of lab animals.

Animal life above humans any day. Its not like humans are on the brink of extinction now is it?

Animals are innocent, totally and purely. Humans, well adult humans, are not. Thus for me to have 1000 animals suffer ridiculous amounts of pain to improve some painkillers (as the majority of drugs work and testing is simply modification of current drugs, rather than great new ones) is not justified.


Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.
