[QUOTE-SHW]That is one of the points of one of the quotes from my posts here that I have already made, CC; that some drugs shown to harm animals in fact are beneficial to humans, and that we may have thrown away valuable drugs for us based on data that showed it deadly to them.[/quote]
You are generalizing from a few examples to the whole.
The fact that there are such examples does not, in any way, prove that all such chemicals would be safe to test in humans.

Do you think they care about you more than the profits and degree of protection from litigation that animal testing can offer them?

Fear of litigation is what protects me and my daughter.

They most certainly do need to look for specific effects caused from chemicals.

First-line testing of chemicals on humans is never going to happen here. You believe the animal tests are imperfect, but that does not mean they have no value in predicting dangerous human reactions.
Beware of hasty generalization.
