Here's my response on medicalresearch in general. I recently had a discussion about medicalresearch using animals. There is more and more evidence that animaltesting is NOT necessarily the best route to take. This story on HIV research is one example. Perhaps it was a necessary “evil.”
Here's a scathing overview in Primate Freedom of the new organization "Pro-Test," an organization of animalresearchers who want to advocate for their work. Tags: animalresearchmedical ethics medicalresearch. Long and impressive expose.
The increase marks the greatest leap in animal use in medicalresearch since 1986, when the government introduced new auditing procedures. Substantial numbers of animals are used to test the safety of new drugs before they are allowed to be used in human trials.

Dutch researchers carried out 592,665 experiments on animals last year, a 2.5% The increase was largely due to new EU rules on chemical compounds, which have led to an increase in testing on rats, the inspectors said. Tags: animalresearch Netherlands. From the DutchNews.nl.
The EU is so far ahead of the US when it comes to developing alternative testing methods, it's embarrassing. It has gone so far as to establish a website for tracking the development of methods to replace, reduce, and refine current animaltesting in EU nations. I need to study the site myself.
Here's a succinct letter to the editor that summarizes the emotional blackmail propogated by animalresearchers. The million dollar ad campaign by the Foundation for Biomedical Research (“Critical research,” Nov. Tags: animalresearch drug companies medicalresearch.
Just read an August update from an ALDF lawyer about medicalresearch. But would researchers be willing to share their results? Tags: animalresearch. I was struck by this paragraph. That's a lot of saved lives. Doubtful if it means endangering their potential patents.
I don't support animalresearch and I have no sympathy for animalresearchers. I don't believe they want an honest dialogue about what they are doing to animals. I don't believe they are "brave" for "standing up" to animal rights activists. I would never advocate violence against a researcher.
The feud between animal rights activists and researchers is among the bitterest in science. But many researchers - although adamant that animalresearch remains critical to finding cures and expanding medical knowledge - have come to concede that using creatures as human stand-ins is unnecessary for many procedures.
The proposed primate breeding facility would violate both the letter and the spirit of Puerto Rico’s progressive new law, which strictly limits the use of animals in experimentation. Tags: animal experimentation puerto rico animalresearch primates medicalresearch.

Around 12 million animals are used each year in the European Union (EU) for research purposes. This became clear from a report addressed at the European Parliament (EP) session on May 5–7, which seeks to vote on a directive concerning animalresearch. From the Epoch Times. I really hope this passes.
I particularly question the use of chimpanzees in medicalresearch. I recently was escorted through a large primate research laboratory by its director. Tags: animal experimentation animalresearch. The following is from The Dragons of Eden by Carl Sagan.
I occasionally read Scienceblog when there is mention of animalresearch issues. It's a site that, according to its own description, is half reader blogs and half press releases from research institutions. Here's the first of an apparent series by a blogger on why we need to do animal testing.part 1 - drug discovery!!!
I came across these stories about two different medical experiments using mice. In this experiment, scientists tested whether lighting can cause depression. Aren't there better things to research? Whether intentionally or not, the title of the article catches the frivolity of the research."Don't One of the conclusions?
There are many excellent books on issues related to animalresearch. Know Your Adversary Part of being an effective activist on animalresearch issues is knowing the arguments in support of animalresearch. For sleuthing on animal experimentation, you will want to visit a library with good science holdings.
This statement is mainly motivated by a recent conversation with someone who has a science degree (I think it's biology), but who actually works for a clinical testing company. She's always talking about Darwin and DNA testing.) This is one of the reasons why we are still on the losing end of the battle with animalresearchers.
