Re: How do you feel about
I actually did two papers on this in college. I took oppositte sides each time so I really know a lot about the subject. My opinion is different in different situations. I am definately against cosmetics testing. However, when mice are purposely bred, and genetically altered say to get tumors and then anti-cancer drugs are tried on them, I am for this type of testing. I guess I take both sides. Like I said I wrote argument papers for Both sides and there are some points I agree with from each point of view.

I think its bad. If there are methods that can be done without using animals, they should be done instead.
Definately.

Re: How do you feel about
I love animals (sometime more than people, only kinding), so I am pretty much against it.

Re: How do you feel about
Did you ever hear of 'Friends of Washoe' in Washington state? It's a sanctuary for chimapnzees that have been through Scientific Testing ... There's also a book by the man, Roger Fouts, that started the sanctuary. It's amazing what these animals have been through.

Sorry I didn't give an opinion beacause it's kind of a double edge sword. I feel bad for the animals but if it helps save a human then ... I don't know, it's one topic to really think about.

Re: How do you feel about
THis topic really hurts me. It makes me cry to think what an animal goes threw in these labs. But i have seen what my mother went threw in the hospital...when she had cancer (thank God she is ok now).
If testing on animals will save lives...i think i would have to understand
But not for anything else (i.e....beauty products)

our technology isn't as advance to compare it to testing on live animals.

I get very sad too what these animals have to go through for people to wear materialistic things. There has to be other ways.

Cosmetics testing - no way I can live without 'better' cosmetics. Prefectly happy with what is on the market now.
But, for disease research, I would rather see lives of humans saved than mice. Monkeys, I have a harded problem with. If mice and rats could always be used, my position would be stronger. The monkeys are so much like humans. I guess in some instances, it is a necessary evil.
