As I said in the thread about the stem-cells, here I start this thread.


I'm against any research on animals to find cures to human illnesses and this for a simple reason, who are we to decide if other living beings have to suffer? I do not believe that humans are in any way more important than other animals, just because they've got a brain to think logic. Therefore I can't justify killing tousands of animals for human life (as well as I never could justify the other way around, i.e.:killing humans for saving animals).
I've to say that a research on animals that treats them well, I would not condamn as much, but it never seems to be the case (maybe because it's impossible??)


P.S.: in case i wasn't clear,this discussion is not about using medicaments which were found that way, but about looking for new ones that way!
