Because these experiments kill stuff. The humans are more valuable, and I'm sorry that you'd rather see them die than a few rodents.

- GHFigs 14y agoThe problem is you (as a scientist) don't know that an experimental subject will have a better life, or a life at all, and you don't have enough data about the risks to fairly compensate a person for taking those risks on. You're just making the cost of collecting data much more expensive while shifting the risk (of suffering, disability, death) from animals bred for the purpose to poor people.
- anoncow 14y agoWhile the topic was about animal suffering, you are talking about suffering in human subjects. As far as I know(and that is not much), human studies are done after animal studies. This means the drug is most likely not toxic to animals and by extension humans.
- GHFigs 14y agoYou didn't read the thread. He's suggesting doing human studies instead of animal studies.
- anoncow 14y agoWithout animal studies, you are exposing human subjects to potentialy toxic drugs.
- unimpressive 14y agoThat's what we said.
