Some scientists say it could end in a generation if we pursue the creation of "virtual humans" and living cell banks as research replacements. Tags: animal experimentation animalresearch medical researchscience. I just don't understand why.
Animal Person , someone who is clearly smarter than me, has a great analysis about the recent "Pepper" series in Slate about animalresearch. At least he didn't try to make me feel happy or warm and fuzzy about animalresearch. Animal Person points out this comment made by Daniel Engber, the author.

Her letter to the Indian research facility is pretty distressing. Former Baywatch star and model Pamela Anderson has accused one of India's most prestigious research centres of animal cruelty, urging it to retire decades-old test monkeys and adopt humane practices.
