  RE: Why animal testing is here to stay

  I understand that animal testing is a significant part of medical device testing, but isn't there a way to do it more gently, without causing these poor creatures so much pain?

  So, if a monkey is just as concious as us its still ok to guage their eyes out and tie them up and torture them in horrific ways because a human wouldnt consent to it.

  I agree that animal testing for new medicines and treatments is necessary, the only thing I have a problem with is cosmetic testing:)

  RE: Why animal testing is here to stay

  As computing continues to mature, animal testing might eventually be replaced by simulations. Until then, this is a necessary evil to continue advancing medicine and science.
