| Message | Dont try to lower our Human Rights and quality life, PPL. We defend the use of animals for medicine research, not cosmetics. The Government must play a part in researching and discovering new medicines and cures for the World. We still believe that sacrifice embryonic or fetal stem cells is inhuman and cruel. Anyways, we disagree with all.. |

| Message | You say we are trying to lower the life quality of our citizens and yet you're against the use of stem cells simply because it seems "inhuman and cruel" to you, a reason, quiet frankly, too vague and empty, specially if compared to all the benefits such research can bring to our country in terms of health, welfare, scientific progress, etc. As for the use of animals for cosmetics, we're not proposing that it should be carried out in an irresponsible way; we're rather defending a possibility that would, on one hand, ease the work and help to promote the development of companies involved in that business but, on the other hand, put their activities under regulation so we can also protect our fauna. It's a win-win. Finally, we see no reason why the government should participate in the research and development of pharmaceutical drugs when the private sector have more and better resources to do that. There are plenty of other stuff we can focus our attention and budget. |
