TLDR: instead of testing on animals we should use computer simulations and tissue cultures instead.
The authors comparison of kernel bugs to lab testing mice is ridiculous to be honest.
The author cherry picks examples like cosmetics to justify their view, failing to acknowledge a long history of successful testing on animals that led to drugs that help reduce human suffering.
All in all I think the post is bad
- giantg2 5y ago"we should use computer simulations" As much as I like technology, I would be afraid to use a drug that was only tested this way or even in cultured tissue. The biological system is too complex with too many unknown factors for me to believe this is highly effective method for everything.
- soyftware 5y ago> history of successful testing on animals that led to drugs that help reduce human suffering By causing the suffering of living, sentient beings. There's a clear and obvious slippery slope here.
