Guest guest Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 Opposing view: Replace animal experiments Testing on animals is not only cruel, its benefit for humans is doubtful. By John J. Pippin There are many things wrong with the use of intimidation and violence in the critical debate over animal research. In addition to being anathema in our society, such tactics obscure important issues regarding animal experiments and human health. I am a cardiologist and a former animal researcher. I stopped experimenting on animals after I came to doubt the medical value of such research. Today, a growing number of physicians, scientists and scientific agencies believe that moving to non-animal research and testing methods is critical to advancing human health. http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2008/12/opposing-view-1.html?csp=34 " Will we ever get to the point that we realize that we will be more secure when the rest of the world isn't living in poverty just so we can have nice running shoes?
