I was listening to the radio today and there was a debate concerning the experimentation upon animals, in the name of medical advancement. My problem is this, if these experiments are for the benefit of the human being, why on earth should the animals suffer ?
We have a batch of guinea pigs which are ideal for such purposes, they are known as paedophiles,rapists,etc.

What if someone is wrongly convicted of murder??
Its happened many times before...
[Edit] Welsharnie & Rodger also consider this [/Edit]

Rapists are a good example... with DNA evidence, you can pretty much proove without any doubt that the person is guilty. (Except in cases where the descision is based on whether she said yes or not...)
Maybe people on death row could be used, as that way if they are found innocent, the mistake can be rectified, although you get one guy found to be innocent afterwards and he'll be awarded the GNP of a small country in compensation!
Originally posted by welsharnieUh, right, yeah. After all, nobody's ever been wrongly convicted of a crime. 😕
I saw a programme on television which showed someone going round a prison. The prison rooms were nicer than my uni room (which i pay alot of money for), and they had a television each, and didnt need to pay for a license.
I say use them instead of rabbits, at least you then know if the things you are testing work on humans!

Originally posted by invigorateHeh, I had to rec that. Made me laugh. What about cloned criminals?
The solution is to clone the animals and experiment on the cloned ones leaving the real ones free to enjoy a normal life.
Combine this with my post earlier today - clone the crims, deport the originals and test on the clones!

As for animal testing - no, i dont think this is right. We should not be doing this - humans have survived for a long time without these so-called 'medical advancements'; i for one would prefer slower advancement that came with a lower moral/ethical cost.

That's the best way to save animals. 😛
And where would you draw the line, i.e. if you have to choose between a person dying and an animal dying, what would be the "lowest" animal you would prefer to let live and have a human die due to your decision?. I probably wouldn't be able to kill an ape myself, but what about an ant? They're still animals.
You say you prefer slower advancement, but maybe you think you're not one of the ones who will suffer and possibly die. If you could suddenly jump to a situation where you are one of those people, you might think differently.

...and besides we would have nearly the range of lipsticks available today if it hadn't been for those guinea pigs
