| Message | Since animal metabolisms are so different to human metabolism, there is really little or no advantage to be gained from animal testing anyway. Example - rats (the most commonly used test animal) are incapable of vomit responses, which means 'lethal doses' calculated based on a rat response are literally useless. Also - our science is sufficiently advanced that, for the most part, laboratory testing is merely a means of corroborating expected results. We can safely do THAT on humans. |
